"Return to office" demands may have peaked, with employers accepting remote, work-from-home and hybrid working, research from the Australian HR Institute has found.

A survey of human resources professionals shows employers' demands for full-time staff to be in the office between three to five days are falling.

What's next?

More than 80 per cent of survey respondents expect that hybrid working levels will increase or stay the same in the coming two years.

I think a lot of office drones aren't understanding what I'm saying here, or are not liking it. If what your doing at work is for example data entry or document management or some of the sort, your job can easily be replaced by AI or offshore workers. If you need to be somewhere to do something, for example plumbing, or human to human interaction than AI and offshore can't replace you. Think about all the work from home people that get the mouse simulators so they can look like their working all day. You really think they can't be replaced in an instant by AI? Can you explain to me what jobs can be worked exclusively from home, with no need to ever physically show up, that cant be replaced by AI ? I'll wait, but I won't hold my breath.

OK I understand now. I thought you were suggesting that if people were working from home but returned to the office they would be less likely to be replaced. In the same position.

Yea I didn't articulate my point well in my first comment. I was drunk when I wrote it LOL. I'm just saying I predict AI will be our next industrial revolution, just as many jobs had been lost to automation, now we will loose many more to AI. At least that's my theory! Part of me hopes it doesn't happen so people don't get out out of jobs the way they did with automation, part of me hopes we embrace it and maybe people won't have to work as much. But we all know the latter won't happen, too much greed :c
