Exactly. My company has been looking to do a couple of deals but what's holding us back is just that.
What will change I believe is the pointless travel "because we can". Board Meetings with overseas based Directors, probably 2 of 4 a year will be virtual at least. One time, at a previous company, I as the CFO and the CEO were summoned to HO in Croydon for a meeting that lasted a day. 3 or 4 other attendees were there from Hartford, CT and the others from HO itself. The topic, how to cut costs in Singapore. 2 J class in SQ, 2 nights' accommodation each and assorted transport to/from LHR. Madness.
