No.1 Son, who is an IT programmer, was made redundant back in May. He has managed to find a new position with a company in Newport in Wales and starts today (and on a considerably higher salary) - but he's not going in. His on-boarding is being performed remotely over the internet.
Even when things get back to normal, he will only have to go into the office one day a week, as the company has taken the decision that it doesn't need all its employees in an office all at once. This will be the new normal for many IT companies. Those companies that don't move to remote working and saving on office space will find themselves with higher overheads and may lose business because of that.
