Only 10% of Manhattan’s Office Workers Return to Workplace

by Michael Curzon
12 March 2021 12:14 AM

Reports earlier this week that “hybrid working” could become “the norm” following lockdowns have been confirmed in Manhattan, where only 10% of office workers have returned to the workplace. The Financial Times has the story.

Just 10% of Manhattan’s one million office workers had returned to the workplace by early March, according to a study indicating that most of them will still be working remotely by September.

The survey of large employers by the Partnership for New York City, a business advocacy group, suggests that Manhattan offices are still as empty as they were last October.

Expectations for returning to the office have slipped since then, however: while employers polled last October expected to bring back 48% of their office staff by July, they now anticipate having just 45% back at their desks by September.

Over the longer term, employers expect 56% of their office staff to continue working remotely at least part of the time.

On Wednesday, workspace provider IWG (formerly Regus) said “[hybrid working] works for companies, because it’s a lot cheaper”. But is the amount of money saved from making staff work at home greater than the reported cost of reduced productivity that this causes?

Worth reading in full.

Net Zero means the UK is legally obliged to pursue an unachievable, disastrous and pointless policy – a policy that could well result in Britain’s economic destruction. It’s utterly mad and its pursuit totally irresponsible.

I don’t think it ‘could’ – it certainly will as it destroys almost every aspect of our lives.

Net Zero means the UK is legally obliged…

Parliament has bound itself so it can free itself too. I hold on to the hope that when the ‘wheels fall off’ the people of the UK will elect people with different policies to Parliament.

Yes, it is a con. We export our production to places where they burn higher CO2 emission fuels, then we have to increase CO2 emissions further through importation / transportation costs. But the carbon use is off the UK books, so it looks good in government figures. The Chinese must be laughing at us for having such clueless, and / or duplicitous leaders.

But it’s literally all about virtue signaling, so whether it has any effect on the atmosphere is unimportant.

The damage has already been done in terms of the setback. And the gamble of trillions in terms of Ukraine, although I suspect that there is still some serious action to come in regard to that. In terms of your economy and possibly your very survival you are already dead. You can only address this situation if you acknowledge this. I know people who live in impoverished tin pot dictatorships and they tell me sincerely that if the poor and elderly couldn’t afford to heat their houses then there would be revolution overnight. We just accept that fuel costs more here than in any other country in the world and despite low wages and the rest the devil take the hindmost. You have already signed your own death warrant with this attitude. Consider the corruption of your own soul because you haven’t done so until now.

Love to know how they ”measure” emissions. Probably similar to saying the covid ”vaccines” help prevent hospitalisation and death, all of which is unquantifiable and unproveable.

Perhaps Sallust could tell us how we can “register a complaint” which the Net Zero Lunatics in the Establishment will take any notice of?
