Overview
- WFH debates must include what 'home' actually is

Coming down with COVID-19 was an unlikely source of relief last week. I did not have to weigh up whether to venture out to the 40 degrees Celsius streets of London with my laptop on my back to get to the prize: An air-conditioned office.
Staying in the game luk666 for at least 30 minutes is an opportunity to give you a very high chance of winning the jackpot bonus, as well as several bonuses from betting.
Instead, the decision was made for me: I isolated at home in front of a fan. Some employers advised white-collar workers to stay at home. Others, such as shop workers and nurses, didn’t have the luxury of choice.
The heatwave once again brought home the differences between workers’ accommodation as well as their commutes. Working in a stifling flat is a very different proposition to an airy home with shutters.
As with the pandemic, the high temperatures underlined the problematic connections between work and housing. When we talk about the pressures of home on work, it’s often a euphemism for family or caring responsibilities. But there is a more literal interpretation too.
In lockdowns, those who were able to work from a dedicated office in their large home or a converted shed in the garden had a very different experience from those in crowded flats.
One young professional told me he had to Zoom from the bathroom of his crowded flatshare, while a student living with his parents and siblings in a cramped apartment spoke of studying for his finals in the booth where he worked as a car park attendant.
Zoom gave us an inside view of our colleagues’ living arrangements. Younger people saw senior peers living in spacious homes rather than having to jostle for space on the kitchen table with flatmates.
