Flexible working rights for all - could they backfire?

[VectraMan]

Human-beans did not evolve to spend the majority of their working lives staring at a computer screen or in a tedious meeting with no purpose.

That's exactly how we did evolve.

If someone is going to outsource your job, they are going to do it regardless of whether you are in the office or not.

Indeed. It's like saying "They can't fire me! I'm the only one that can unjam the photocopier". It may be true, but ultimately it's bad management that's keeping you there. I imagine there's a lot of people that wouldn't want to WFH just because it'll make it obvious how little they actually do.

Yes you're right! But evolution hasn't stopped. So now it's time to evolve into a flexible-working-species that isn't restricted by a 9 to 5, 40 hours-a-week, got-to-be-at-your-desk-to-count mindset!
