Yes, as with any change, there are winners and losers. I think with 'mass WFH' though, we are generally seeing the winners being those further in their careers, those with more comfortable home lives and those with more comfortable homes in nicer areas being the winners and those who are perhaps more vulnerable or with less suitable home lives and younger in their careers being the losers. There is an increasing amount of stuff about how it is fuelling inequalities. It's one thing if you live in a big house in Whitchurch, quite another if you are in a flat in Trowbridge. It makes us mix less as a society, and I'm not sure thats good.

There's also longer term impacts - how many of our friendships we enjoy were fostered through shared work environments? A great deal I suspect. What happens if they aren't allowed to develop? Is that fair on younger people? Are we burning less calories as a society? Are we using more carbon to heat individual homes? Will younger people develop less social skills? What are the mental health impacts? Who suffers when public transport is withdrawn? Are there issues with burnout?

Lot's to unpack, very difficult to extract it from the pandemic itself and of course everything impacts people differently, but I think we all have a social duty as well as one to our families so it's an important thing to keep an eye on.
