Boris Johnson says people should work in-person again because when he works from home he gets distracted by cheese

According to the Daily Mail, UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson called for Brits to return to work in-person because he was worried that they would get distracted by cheese at home.

In an interview with the outlet, Johnson said he and others will hack off a small piece of cheese instead of staying focused.

My experience of working from home is that you spend a lot of time making another cup of coffee and then, you know, getting up, walking very slowly to the fridge, hacking off a small piece of cheese, then walking very slowly back to your laptop and forgetting what you did. He said to the outlet that he believes in the workplace environment.

Johnson talked about the cost of living in the UK and said that it was time to have people return to work in person.

There will be a lot of people who disagree with me, but I believe they are more productive, more energetic, and more full of ideas when they are surrounded by other people.

Johnson isn't the first world leader to call for a return to in-person working. In March, US President Joe Biden said that it was time for Americans to get back to work.

While some companies in the private sector are hoping to lure people back into offices, companies like Airbnb, and Twitter have shifted to post-in-office futures, allowing permanent remote work for employees, according to CNBC.
