Working from Home, tax and Multinationals

Amazon have a problem in that they hired AWS staff like mad starting from the Covid lockdowns and continuing until a year or so ago. Bringing everyone back to to office is a cheap way of reducing staff numbers.

Lots of people lacked perspective during Covid. My mother asked me if I though that the restaurants and pubs would ever open again. I said that they opened after the Black Death which killed one person in three (in many places one in two) in Europe so yes, they'll probably open again after Covid. Massive social and societal changes imposed upon us due to temporary external circumstances tend to be as temporary as the circumstances.
 
I see intel new chief announced job cuts last week, he wants less bureaucracy, cutting out some management jobs and much less working from home at most only 1 day a week working from home, probably people that were able to work from home are now in the firing line. Anyone that needs to be on site every day is probably crucial to it's operations now. We are seeing the real repercussions of all the covid lock downs now
 
Another downside from working from home is Irish team workers in Irish based Multinational Companies working from home have allowed team members from other Countries working from offices to get the upper hand,
I expect this to play a big part when it comes to letting people go,

Irish workers working from home may feel they preformed just as good or even better working from home
But they were not in minding the shop for want of a better word,
The gave up home advantage and are losing there anchor on teams,

Sad part is they were encouraged by there own Government in Ireland,
