Dear me, you do witter on, this has nothing to do with the subject brought up in the OP.
However, keeping it on subject.

A 2 year old company, valued at £4bn, employing 500, and not one of them works in an office.
You just didn't get it. My original post was simple ; people who are now WFH are more likely to lose their job to someone in another Country than if they were working in the office. Providing there's no language barrier, it makes no difference to the employer - and as your supporting link confirms - is cost beneficial and achieves excellent ROI. What's more, as some have concurred, home is home, and should stay that way. "Meeting" in Cloud etc., isn't "Meeting". No more than you're 'meeting' Gary Lineker when the football's on..
I know EXACTLY what you are saying, just because I have pointed out it is a load of nonsense doesn't mean I didn't get it.
My point is that your opinions are baseless. What are they based on other than apparent fear? Today I provided an example of a business that started 2 years ago (pre-pandemic) and is valued at £4bn with 500 employees. 500 jobs created from remote working. You could, I suggest, come up with a counter-example.
You further demonstrate your lack of vision with the comment "Home is home and should stay that way". Why? Why should it stay that way? My mortgage is £1000 a month. If I was working in an office, I would essentially be using it as a place to sleep, eat and watch tele for an hour or two a week. Now that I am working remotely, I am getting much more value from my home. I am getting to spend more time with my kids. I am spending more time with family. I can start work at 5am if I like, or at 5pm if I like. Maybe this is beyond your comprehension because you, maybe, are one of those workers who is put in a box and stays there from 16-65.
It's incredible. You still haven't grasped this. Nobody is saying your job's at risk, but it's more likely to go elsewhere if you are WFH as opposed to being in an office environment. As for getting good value, your employer is getting your 'input' - whatever that is - completely free of rent, rates, utility costs, travel costs, maintenance costs, etc.. All that is being paid by YOU, as a percentage of your £1000 per month mortgage.
