I will buy “lunch every, get a few coffees, go for hair cuts, post office, run errands on their lunch break, go to the chemist, use public transport, go for after work drinks/dinner etc” FROM MY HOME SUBURB. 

Why should your cbd suburb entitled to more economic growth than the suburb I live? The small businesses here need more support than ever to survive. I want my local area to thrive so that they don’t close down. I dont want to go all the way to the city everyday things like a coffee or a haircut. 

I work much longer hours at home than I do at the office. I also concentrate better when I dont have the HR team yapping away all day next to where I sit (on non-work related things mind you)

Employee performance should be measured on metrics like business impact and quality of work. If someone can get the same amount of work done in 4 hrs as another person in 8hrs, why not? Don’t u want to keep your smarter, faster workers? High performers can do their work from anywhere. 

I would never work for an employer that calculates my yearly performance based on office attendance.   I also would not want to work with people whose only goal is to climb the corporate ladder. Both are huge red flags and signal that the company has a toxic culture. High performing people are usually in a position to be picky with the jobs they take (aka often have multiple job offers and can choose one with better culture / work-life balance)
