In the pure spirit of The Late Night Shows, here is my personal “TOP TEN Signs remote working isn’t for you” list. This is an essential draft for a Desk Piece with jokes about Remote Working, seen from the humorous angle of a helpless remote worker (is there any sign you find particularly true?).

Sign #8: You wonder why all those people on the screen are looking at you
