For many, the pandemic was their first introduction to working from home. Working, for many office workers, was stripped both of the burdens (commuting and all its expenses, using the ‘clean’ office microwave, having to book half a day off to get the boiler sorted) and the perks (enjoying the company of your co-workers, in-office snacks, regularly leaving the house) the office brings. In its stead we had makeshift desks at kitchen tables or on chest of drawers, rolling over in bed to sign into work at 8.59am, and negotiating your housemate’s conference calls.
