Sunday Times, section 7, Appointments

“Time for change as the days of working nine to five fade

“In the future, certainly in the West, there will be fewer full-time jobs and more part-time jobs. There will be fewer core workers and more contingent ones. More people will work from home. Work will be a thing you do, not a place you go to.”

So, shall we need all these extra offices and industrial sheds (5 hectares in Sidford alone) or is this yesterday’s thinking – or yesterday’s misplaced greed?

Or is it that sheds and offices (even if empty) will attract tax breaks, write-offs or business rates for our landowners and council where home working will not?
