In The Last Year The Price Of Gasoline And Ethanol Soared At Gas Stations And This Caused Many Employees To Continue Working From Home

Working From Home Eases The Burden Of Fuel Prices: Many companies have put their employees in home office due to the pandemic, accelerating a trend that was already taking shape in the corporate world. With the flexibilizations, many workers had the option to return to in-person work, resuming a more “normal” routine.

However, another unexpected factor ended up influencing the decision: the rise in fuel prices. It is no news that in the last year the price of gasoline and ethanol soared at gas stations, reaching R$ 8/liter, and this caused many employees to postpone their return to the offices and continue working from home. According to a survey by OnePoll, in partnership with Citrix Systems, 54% of employees prefer to work from home to avoid high fuel expenses. In the United States, the number is even higher (57%).

With Exorbitant Fuel Prices, The Savings From Working From Home Are Significant.

Companies and workers have learned in recent years how to make working from home effective and functional, as there was no other solution and, in the end, it turned out to be not as complicated as it seemed. With this cultural shift, various other costs and benefits began to be weighed, and with the exorbitant prices of gasoline, the savings from working from home are significant.

With Exorbitant Fuel Prices, The Savings From Working From Home Are Significant.

With billions in loans, China is rebuilding Nigeria’s railway network from scratch, abandoning the British colonial tracks that have turned to scrap and creating a corridor of over 1,300 km to take the load off the roads of Africa’s largest economy.

A British company has installed in the middle of the ocean the world’s first floating platform that generates electricity 24 hours a day from the temperature difference between the surface and the depths of the Atlantic, without relying on wind or sun.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

Forget petroleum-based asphalt: a Scottish company transforms 684,000 plastic bottles into one kilometer of road that is 60% more resistant and up to 10 times more durable, and the technology has already started replacing traditional asphalt in more than 30 countries.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

The James Webb telescope spotted a planet 700 light-years from Earth with mornings full of sand clouds and nights with clear skies, the temperature difference between the two hemispheres reaches an impressive 170 degrees.

A forgotten wooden bridge on a highway in Rio, marked by compromised planks and visible fragility, has become a symbol of neglect for residents who need to pass through the area to maintain their routine.

São Paulo teaches the world about biomethane: record production can supply 2.8 million homes and replace 4,000 diesel buses

In Brazil, a condominium threatens to fine a resident who puts a Brazilian flag on the balcony during the World Cup and election year.

Hyundai creates smart film that reduces heat inside the car by up to 10°C and promises to transform comfort on extreme days

Fishermen accidentally catch a 2.5-meter goblin shark at a depth of 900 meters in Gran Canaria and record one of the rarest creatures of the deep ocean still alive.
