This is the best summary I could come up with:


Everything is colliding for employees, bosses and the owners of commercial properties as the "work from home" trend cements itself as a standard part of most office workers' lives.

"Things like this don't usually change so quickly in the labour market," notes Matt Cowgill, senior economist for jobs website Seek.

ANZ staff face a cut to their annual bonuses if they don't spend at least 50 per cent of their scheduled working hours in the office, according to a report in the Australian Financial Review.

Origin Energy reportedly demands all employees based in an office spend at least 40 per cent of their time there and has started linking attendance to performance reviews and bonuses.

The bank warned that bonuses — which are a substantial proportion of some salary packages in the financial services field — could be docked if workers failed to turn up at the office for least three days a week.

More luxurious meeting rooms, better "end-of-trip" facilities for bike riders and walkers and nicer kitchens are just some of the elements rental agents say clients want.
