The company I work for looked at all our roles, and many of us were offered the option to become remote workers full time. It appears they are looking to downsize the size and number of office buildings they have.
I heard that the takeup of this offer was over 90%.
Personally, I have been into the office maybe 7 days in the last 10 years. Mostly for some face to face project meetings. My general day to day work involves working with folks around the world, and never with anyone in the same country as me, never mind based out of the same office!
They have done a good job so far - we had to complete some H&S training on ergonomics, and had to certify our working environment at home was suitable - if we didnt have proper chairs and desks we were able to order those and have them delivered.
