The pandemic has changed the world irreversibly with one of the major shake ups relating to the increased amount of remote working opportunities now after people have refused to return to the office, after many realised that they don’t need to commute in every day to do their jobs effectively.

Of course, old tired white men obviously have a problem with the status quo changing and are quick to vent their anger to anyone who will listen, with Alan Sugar being one of the most vocal critics of the new ‘working from home’ culture. Here’s what he had to say:

Lazy gits watching golf and tennis at home while they supposed to be working. We the tax payer are paying the. Get them back to the office or fire them https://t.co/QkIg2r2IDL

.@GMB are saying people who work from home should be paid more to keep warm as companies are saving money while the worker are away. RUBBISH they have to pay rent, heating and rates with or without a full work place. People should be paid less they are saving travel costs.

Listen scum bag most who work from home watch more TV than work. There are a few exceptions but the majority are lazy gits. When some of my companies recruit the first question asked by some applicants is “can I work from home” . They are shown the door . https://t.co/zFKajcZ95q

I just don’t get this attitude from the guy. There’s an assumption from a lot of old white men that unless they can keep an eye on their employees at all times then they’re just going to spend their time dossing and not doing anything if they’re working at home, but if they’re doing their jobs effectively and meeting the goals set by their bosses then what’s the problem?

Sure, some people work better in an office environment and I don’t think we should totally reject that model of working as there are definitely some benefits to it, but some people work better in their home office and it seems like after the pandemic both of those options should probably be equally viable. Dunno why so many people have a problem with stuff changing – it doesn’t necessarily means it’s gonna be worse/less efficient/whatever, just different. Get with the program.

For more of the same, check out this adult baby who can’t find work because employers don’t like him wearing nappies. That’s a problem I can understand. For employers I mean.
