There's a happy middle somewhere.

A 3/2 split between work and home would be ace

We were asked to fill a survey out and that was one such question. I stated that as my preference though tbh I'd be happier with 4/1. Go in on a Wednesday to break it up

Pure greed drives this btw, each day I wfh is £12 saved in petrol. Give or take. Knock a bit off for extra elec etc but still.

Also it is good for the environment and that can't be bad

I was finding it too. The MD couldn't resist calling at all times - he's always like that as he's so reactionary to things (had to try talking him out of absolutely balling out a member of staff he'd just sacked at 8pm last night. Turns out I failed....), but with me having the PC to hand I'd always jump on and work on whatever he'd mentioned. I think he was doing it a bit more than usual because he was really struggling without the office base. Now we're back in work he's more relaxed about letting me do things. So now I'm back in the office I'm clocking off at 2/3pm most days when I know he's got bored for the day, rather than being perched deskside until 5pm just in case he calls.

Sounds like your problem is an arsehole of a boss.

I'd be happy never going back into the office. I don't mind my team but I don't socialise with them outside of work so I'd be absolutely fine with not seeing them face to face.

Don't forget the time saved for

- Laundry
- Ironing
- Getting ready every morning
- Travelling

Which is probably worth more than that £12 you're saving

Also if I don't have my morning turd (generally I'm like clockwork but been on various meds in recent times and they've messed my rhythm up) then I can just go for it at half ten or whenever and not have to queue.

Seriously all anyone does where I work is turd

Ah he's not all bad. His problem with me is he knows he has to pass responsibilities over to me (my job is to be his paperwork side of things, because he knows he lets it build up in favour of being hands on on site.), he does kind of struggle to leave things to me at times, and also does forget that I'm not a director so my givea**** meter stops at 5pm. I'm dealing with a guy who's gone from a self employed labourer to running a seven-figure business in under 2 years. He's getting much better at leaving things to me (and truthfully he always goes with my advice anyway).
If anything he can be too nice to the staff - this kid he lost it with last night hadn't been furloughed as he started too late, so initially we were paying him out of our pocket to sit at home. Problem is he went and got another job, knowing our boss is personally forking out for his wage (and that he was the only one in the company in that position), then to top it all off he booked a day off at his other job because we called the lads back on Friday for safety briefing and mask fitting. We spent about £150 just on his mask and tests, when he knew he'd never actually go on site with us. If he'd jacked it in at any point before then it wouldn't have been as bad, but to wait until after we'd wasted more money on him............

I mean, talking of being lenient, I dont think I've ever worked more than 30 hours in a single week in the office, if I have it's probably because I wanted to get ahead of the game on something (or I've been sat in waiting for a personal Amazon delivery thats not turned up by 3)

Also if I don't have my morning turd (generally I'm like clockwork but been on various meds in recent times and they've messed my rhythm up) then I can just go for it at half ten or whenever and not have to queue.

If I've not had a turd at work I consider it an unproductive day. Honestly why **** in a toilet you have to clean yourself

As long as I could occasionally see people that I actually liked and was able to go on proper excursions to remote locations it could stay this way forever as far as I am concerned. Oh and sport on the TV as well.

I knew we must have something in common in addition to our alma mater

All of my best posts were written in office toilets.

I get no WiFi or data signal in my office toilets. So thats when I play stick cricket

Its actually a thing with one of my colleagues now. I'll Skype him and ask if he's free and he's like, give me 15 I'm off to play stick cricket

I definitely do want a ****in' hug man.

I haven't had a hug since February.

Public restrooms might not be the same again.
