WFH may be comfortable for fifty-somethings who know their work like the back of their hands - but they learnt their trade somewhere. That somewhere was probably an office, watching the generation above, emulating the best bits. Due to the marvels of broadband, we have young adult children working on video calls all over our locked-down house, but the drawbacks are clear. There is no one from whom to learn the basics, or to answer the simple questions that too unimportant to commit to an e-mail, but which are a vital part of learning the ropes. This lack of face-to-face contact turns the learning curve into a steep uphill slope.
