Denis O'Brien says remote working is a 'load of nonsense' - do you agree?
REMOTE WORK HAS compromised Ireland's work ethic, according to Denis O'Brien.
'This lark of people saying, 'I'll come into the office on Tuesday and Wednesday; otherwise I'm going to be working at home', is a load of nonsense,'
the businessman said at the Irish Investor Awards, as reported in The Currency.

'I don't employ those kinds of people, and to be honest with you, I never will'.
However, Laura Bambrick of the Irish Congress of Trade Unions (ICTU) argued that it should be a 'red flag' for workers
if an employer insists on five days in the office.
She suggested that this shows disregard for work-life balance.
So tell us:
Do you think that remote working is a 'load of nonsense'?
