People wanting to "eat biscuits" while working from the comfort of their home may be out of luck as fresh data has shown all UK employees will return back to the office by the end of 2027.

Since the Covid pandemic, remote and hybrid jobs have become the norm.

But, the tide is quickly turning and many companies are encouraging a full-time return to the office with JP Morgan Chief Executive Jamie Dimon telling staff earlier this year: “Don’t give me this s**t that work-from-home-Friday works.”

Small business comparison site Bionic has predicted exactly when Britons can expect to be back in the office full-time - having also surveyed 2,000 UK office workers to "better understand their attitudes and feelings toward a full-time return to the office".

Having analysed Google search data to forecast when full-time office work would return to normality, Bionic looked at the search term - "working from home jobs" - to see when the interest would drop off completely and hit zero.

Based on the analysis, the data suggests remote and hybrid work will no longer be the standard by December 19, 2027 - "with all UK employees expected to return to the office full-time by that date".

Former Conservative Cabinet Minister Jacob Rees-Mogg supported the data, saying "led by Goldman Sachs competitive (nature)... well-managed businesses realised that working from home was an idler's boondoggle some time ago".

"The ambitious want to be in work to prove to their bosses how good they are," Rees-Mogg told GB News.

"While only those plump in their own mediocrity want to eat biscuits at home."

Rees-Mogg said that unsurprisingly "the heavily unionised and inefficient public sector (was) the last to realise this".

"(They are) ultimately out of sight, out of mind and out of a job," he said.

Research found 40 per cent of UK workers "would be happy to return to the office full-time".

"Forty per cent of UK office workers feel positive about the potential of a full-time return to the office, with one in six respondents claiming that their ideal working pattern would be working in the office five days a week," a Bionic spokesman said.

The data showed that Gen Z were "leading the charge" with 50 per cent of those aged between 18 to 24 "happy to return to the office full-time and 23 per cent in the same group indicating their ideal working pattern would be five days in the office.

However, it was the over 45 age group which were most likely to "refuse a full-time" office job.

While many working Brits generally felt positive about returning to full-time office work, a significant portion feel strongly against it.

"Forty per cent of UK office workers feel very negative about a full-time return to the office, with over-45s being the least keen to let go of their hybrid and remote working schedules," the spokesman said.

"Sixty nine per cent of 45 to 54-year-olds feel negative or very negative about the idea, and a further 28 per cent of them would prefer to completely remote."

Despite the research indicating full-time work will be restored by 2027, King's College London data revealed less than half of UK workers would comply with that type of return.

So much so, the findings released in May, showed a downward trajectory of 42 per cent of workers saying they would comply with a five-day return which is down from 54 per cent in early 2022.

It also found that 10 per cent of workers would quit straight away if forced to go in five days a week.
