Current Affairs The Conservative Party

I agree to a degree. We will also start to see more monitoring software to check employee activity like tech to follow eye movements and stuff although there will be (and is) inevitable kick back on this. Depends on the company and the job role.

If you're so distrustful of your workforce you may as well sack them tbh (or mandate they work in the office).

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Honestly mate I think the entire Western world has utterly messed up the work life balance. Whether that's modern arrangements like wfh or older issues like child care and maternity leave. I think so long as it effectively requires 2 people to work full time just to keep a family housed and fed then we're doing something wrong.

It wasn't always this way and I'm not suggesting we go back in time but we definitely should be doing something different.

Presumably you'd want the woman to sacrifice their career rather than the man?

That’s the thing eh

Cant help yourself can you. Tit!

We did it the other way.

I destroyed my career while the missus progressed hers.

Not granted I didnt really have a "career", but still.

It would be nice if we could move beyond gender norms, but it doesn't happen very often.

Everybody she speaks to is shocked the way we do it. And it's really not easy trying to get a job after taking 10 years "off".

But my mother has been the most vocal about it.

Aye, I can imagine there is a lot of stigma associated with it, which is all kinds of wrong.

Incidentally, another example that "taking back control" was to remove any scrutiny of the Tory party and not about giving control back to you and I

 

[Haydn]

Yeah, that is a downside. I know a very well regarded professor of organisational psychology and work looking at that very issue. Hence the blended approach is the recommended way to go.

I get the psychological considerations. It is well proven that people have very different needs and motivations in the workplace.

A strong need for affinity with others, being one such personal preference that could mitigate against some individuals enjoying, or performing well, when working from home.

That doesn’t make the choice binary though. Small local office hubs away from city centres, particularly in the commuter towns around London, are now opening for this purpose.

That’s where organisational efficiency, productivity, employee wellbeing and individual choice, should trump Government and their property developer mates’ preferences.

TBF it was reported in a few places, its just the omerta didn't let it go any further (indeed its still not being widely reported now, even though there is a cost of living crisis going on amongst people who aren't billionaires and who don't own newspapers)

It won't happen as long as we have people likeyou raking up the same old garbage.

@Bruce Wayne slyly making people very angry in here today.
