The entire world is being advised to return to working from home, The Guardian reports.

The publication reports that the World Energy Organization has recommended governments reduce speed limits on highways and urged workers to carpool or, ideally, work from home to combat the sharp rise in oil prices and looming fuel shortages caused by the conflict in the Middle East.

It has also recommended that all countries consider restricting vehicle access to designated areas in major cities.

I am waiting to see is this actually happens in the US or if they just keep forcing workers to empty their wallets to prop up their zombie economy. I have seen lots of posts about this no not heard of any US company doing it. I would be suspect of any company that does at this point. It just open the doors for more "soft layoffs" like my company did after covid.
