The coronavirus pandemic could spark the death of the traditional work tea round and office birthday treats. A study of 2,000 office workers into the future of the workplace revealed 43 per cent are anxious about returning.
More than half believe tea rounds will be a thing of the past, with one in four said they wouldn't want a colleague making them a drink.
A third plan to avoid hot-desking in the future, while 30 per cent will use their own mug and 27 per cent will bring in their own cutlery, instead of communal items.
Others will avoid preparing their lunch in the communal kitchen, stop sharing snacks, and no longer sign birthday cards which are passed around the office for colleagues.
