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 loudly proclaimed that people would never return to pubs or live music again and that was also the new normal
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
