After the coronavirus pandemic, there will be up to 50% less business travel than before, with a growing number of people working from home, estimates one of the wealthiest people in the world, Bill Gates.

He said for Business Insider that office jobs will be cut by 30% after the pandemic.

The Microsoft founder believes that companies will increase the threshold for business trips after the health crisis, and that private meetings will be held only in case of urgency.

Last month, Microsoft announced that it would cancel a half of its business flights after the pandemic and that it is much less likely that its employees will work in office, namely they will more often work from home.

Introduction of a similar hybrid model is also announced by other tech companies such as Twitter and Facebook.
