Mr Mutant’s company rents offices all around the world. They’ve permanently ditched those offices. Most of their employees work from home, the offices were there for people to work face-to-face if they wished or they couldn’t work from home etc. Mr Mutant went in once a fortnight as there’s a presentation on his particular brand of coding, but stopped once the virus lockdowns were put in place.

Most of the working from home schemes are for office type workers. Has any thought been given to factories?

The open-floored office was a shithouse idea badly executed. Should have been led down a dark alley and strangled years ago. FIIK how anybody ever got a bloody thing done.
