Don't drive five miles for a walk....

There are literally millions of people working flexible hours. Never caught on? I've been working flexible hours for 40 years.
For certain sectors of the economy working from home has its place, but the whole scale shift that the government and certain employers are trying to instigate is uncomfortable to watch at times. I can name a fair few industries that are doing it right now, banking & finance, profession sectors like solicitors, office based sales staff etc. Productivity has taken a nose dive, many will set up a nice new desk with a green screen behind and act like they are getting the job done when in reality it’s all a farce. We’re a social creature and crave interaction. Many in these types of industry are desperate to put the suit on and get out of the house to a bit of normality
 
What an odd conclusion to jump to, sounds very conspiracy theory to me, you don't agree with my paranoia so you must be blind to my wisdom.
I’m not sure it’s paranoia or conspiracy so much as a bit of experience and understanding of the issues really FY8. I appreciate these things aren’t going to occur to you, as essentially you really don’t need to think about the implications, beyond whether your workstation is comfy etc..And working from home is all shiny and new, but there are very real issues... (for employers and employees) to grapple with.

Thanks for the lesson, feel free to patronise me every day at this time, or we could get a 'Bifster educates the masses' sub board if you're not too busy commuting from the coal face of hard capitalism, we could call it ' A View From the Third eye' 👍

No problem... 👍...The intention isn’t to patronise you. I’m just speaking in response to your inference that some pretty practical comments somehow suggest I’m paranoid or amount to ‘conspiracy theories’. I can only speak as I find and for me that demonstrates both ignorance and naivety.
 
Productivity Monitoring Software, Mobile Phone Location Monitoring, Call monitoring (for training purposes of course).

Work from home all you want but we know what your doing
 
You only have to look at how monitoring technology has progressed for field based workers... in car cameras, vehicle tracking devices etc... You can’t fart without the employer knowing ...

I can see people being permanently monitored by camera, under the guise of trying to recreate the office environment and as hoc team based communication...
