Stepping out of office for coffee? This Australian company doesn't allow

An Australian mining firm faces backlash over claims by managing director Chris Ellison that coffee breaks are too expensive. Ellison wants employees kept in the office all day and criticizes remote work costs. The Perth-based office includes various amenities to encourage on-site work. The policy is part of a broader industry trend against remote work. Last week, the head of London-based smartphone maker Nothing declared a shift to fully office-based work, ending their hybrid model.
