I wonder how long the 50% home/50% in office will last? Is it a stepping stone to 100% WFH for many employees until their office leases expire. They're reputable companies and many will probably honour their leases until the next lease break. A good analysis would be a study of when the majority of these lease break clauses come into effect. It's the office tenants decisions at that time that will show where the WFH phenomenon is really heading. Edit: Just to add. How do pension funds and other large investors now value any potential investments in commercial real estate or build to rent apartment schemes? It's kind of similar to what happened in the United States last time. Wasn't that down to investors not being able to value the underlying assets that most of the loans were secured on? Will they all just stop investing until there's more clarity?

He said they may be better off, and my qn was if thats the case, why would that person have come here in the first place. As for irish people wfh saving money, im not sure how childcare gets cheaper, mine certainly hasnt, i save money on discrectionary spends as i dont buy as many lunches out, i cant see how i need to wear any less clothes, if anything my wife is buying more clothes, and we both took public transport so no massive transport saving.
