I work in Manchester. My office job pays me £22,000 a year and can be done from home. The government want me to now spend £250 a month on trains and give up 40 hours a month in travel to buy a £6 sandwich from Pret everyday with whatever’s left of my disposal income. Hmm.
Just to clarify for the Tories in the comments;
I said the government now want me to go back to the office to buy a sandwich from Pret.
I won’t be buying a sandwich from Pret.
So, now what’s the reason I have to go back the office when I can do my job fine from home?

You lazy bastard, go back to work!
Cycle to your job (my work is 50 miles away)
And lastly, get a second job

Oh, and lastly. For those saying all WFH jobs can be done from India
1. A lot of jobs require local knowledge of areas
2. WFH wouldnt mean you don’t still take the occasional face to face meeting.
3. India is 5 hours ahead of the UK, so they’ll be clocking off at lunchtime here
