Apparently, people who needn’t go back to work aren’t going back to work.

Is this inevitable? So many office jobs are far from useful, involving moving bits of paper around, or making phone calls, that people just aren’t going to miss a few million office workers not turning up.
A bit like many hospital clinic consultations, just as effective done by telephone, people might be waking up to the tremendous waste of time that society indulges in.

//Businesses have found a better way of working, and more profitable.//
It may be better for them, but in many cases it is certainly not better for their customers. Companies have had about six months to adjust to their preferred way of working since this nonsense began. In many cases their service is an absolute shambles. Everything the customer suffers is "because of Covid." I have spent literally hours on the phone trying to get the simplest of problems solved. If they are to make this permanent they need to do two things:
1. They need to shape up. At present they are providing shoddy, third rate service and people have put up with it up to now because for some strange reason many of them think it is necessary.
2. They need to make sure that the staff they have told to stay at home have adequate facilities to work there. Large numbers of them have not. They have been sent home with a laptop and some of them are working sitting on their bed or with their laptop propped up against the toaster. It won't do.

But your staff aren’t ‘working’ with those companies, Chelle. They’re just buying lunches from them - or if they're working from home, putting them out of business and their staff out of jobs.
Now if you were in the business of, say, manufacturing office furniture, or even being a middle man and buying from the manufacturers and selling to companies - something that can be done from home - or manufacturing paper cups for office water coolers - or even sitting at home taking orders for paper cups - you would be in trouble because ultimately you would have no one to sell to.

//NAOMI, if a company is saving money by having folk working from home, should the Government reimburse them for any extra costs when those folk return to their place of work?//
Why should they? Leaving aside the fact that the government has no money and it is taxpayers who are footing the bill, The costs resulting from something like Covid should be borne by the company and, if they have any, their shareholders.
