Working from home?

[Goodison87]

Fellow WFH workers! Do you do it and how do you find it? All change in working patterns since the pandemic. I’ve personally done it for about 12 years now and got quite used to it, with the odd day in the office and a trip down to London now and then. Work on TEAMS daily now.

Just curious of how you manage your working day / life routines and if you prefer it ?

Almost permanently WFH. Only get to go down to the office when we have new hires to onboard or if I've ordered new equipment.

Love it personally, feels a lot more productive when you need to be and actually relaxing when you need to take a step back.

I worked from home today …. Was a nightmare, phone didn’t stop ringing all bloody day and never got half the work done I intended to.

Going on 5 years WFH. Love it. Saved me from work really. Trying to get us into the office 2 days per week shortly. Any more than that and I’m gonna look for another job.

Best thing that happened to me, no boring office “mates”, no drama, no “what did you do this weekend “. No 2hr commute

I would never step foot in an office in my life again

You don’t still get this over Teams though? Every bloody Monday morning we still go round the table.

How many different ways are there to say “lines and pints”?

Bliss. Absolute bliss. Never been more productive and more happy in my life.

Don’t work for a British company

Only worry for me is that govt. don't adapt long term to this, instead they knee jerk to all the closing food companies etc. dependent on offices & take the easy option of demonising & forcing company policies...

Harry Wallop...stinker that.

WFH Mon-Wed. Don’t get much done. In the office I’m more productive than I’ve ever been, I know I’m work and not just having a sit off with my laptop checking emails and TEAMS messages on my couch.

Hybrid. In the office 2/3 days a week. Try to keep it to two. Our irritating senior management periodically extol being in more often for the 'collaboration and creativity' that being in the office apparently brings.

By and large I get very little done in the office due to listening to extroverts attempting to be creative and collaborative at me. I think being creative and collaborative is a code word for posturing and attention seeking to justify one's role. Or a thinly disguised opportunity for deeply insecure micromanagers to attempt to justify their role.

Big fan of the lack of commute and using limited office time to force face to face meetings to be necessary and productive. Go in more often a creative collaborative type wants more and more unnecessary meetings.

Big fan.

How aren’t people productive at home? I know that if I fly through my work then I can go watch Netflix. No incentive in the office for working fast

I'm the only person from my team based in Liverpool. So if I go into the office I'm still working remotely.

Proper winds some of the old fellas down the pub up... Which is boss. They can't get their heads round wfh, and think being at home means nothing gets done. Think I'll blag them this weekend we're going to a 4 day week with full pay, their heads will literally explode.
