Emeritus Prof Christopher MayQuite how angry workers who have been enjoying hybrid work (working from home for some of the week) are about calls to 'return to the office' is becoming increasingly clear.Good management would (and is) finding ways to make hybrid work well (as indeed it often does), but of course the UK bullying (toxic) managers only see a threat to their authority, while landlords are worried about under used (and thus soon to be vacant) office space.<a href="https://zirk.us/tags/workers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#workers</a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/HybridWorking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#HybridWorking</a> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/business/2025/mar/31/half-of-uk-professionals-might-quit-if-ordered-back-to-the-office-full-time-poll-shows" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.theguardian.com/business/2025/mar/31/half-of-uk-professionals-might-quit-if-ordered-back-to-the-office-full-time-poll-shows</a>
