Working from Home….

We were combo remote / office for our medical practice before COVID, so not a lot of change for our admin staff - as we've grown, we're taking on a larger office for some group training and interaction, plus a bit more oversight of some of our younger staff. I'm at home 2-3 days/week, then out in our medical facilities and in our office 2 days usually. We don't have a physical clinic location, rather see our patients in long term care facilities, SNFs, rehab hospitals, etc.

Works fine for me - plus, if I turn to my right, I can see my wife sitting at her home office as well.....and we can "discuss" who's turn it is to make coffee - usually mine.
 
I've been to their office.

Hell on earth.

I'd rather work from home and/or Bangalore.


Mod Central ?……
 

Me and my girlfriend were living in Glasgow for a couple of years, we were ready to buy a house and wanted to move back to Liverpool so I convinced my company to let me be full time WFH.

Has had its benefits in our first house, I can keep on top of stuff. I can't say I've been as productive as I could be work-wise though, hence my very presence on this forum in work hours. Hoping it will settle once I'm not working from an effective construction site.
 
They've lost loads of experienced staff since enforcing the no WFH policy, to competitors and suppliers in some cases.

Talking about really good employees who had been there for ten plus years in some cases.

Bonkers imo.

If your only argument for getting people in the office is that otherwise their jobs will be outsourced to Bangladesh that’s not somewhere I would want to be anyway.

I know a few places that have insisted in staff coming in 5 days a week still, despite the job being perfectly plausible to WFH.

I'm hybrid now (2-3 days a week in the office) and probably wouldn't consider another position unless I could have that flexibility.
 
3 at home, 2 in the office. would rather be in the office once a week.

people waste so much time in the office, having fake meetings, running around with laptops. corporate flirting in the kitchen, trying to out-jargon each other

i can sit at home, listen to jungle and do more work

In fairness, I am MUCH more productive when working at the office vs at home. But at the end of the day does it really matter as long as you get your work done to a high standard?

Yeah, I'd think it would be that way. But when I get bored at work I just stare at the screen or go around and talking to people, which happens a lot and wastes 30 mins . Plus the dry eyes, headaches from offices

If I start to get bored at home, I just do some house work for 5 mins or something
 
The female works from home 2 days a week. Her work doesn't oay the leccy or lighting bills, nor the great she insists on. I find I cant play loud music nor operate my workshop while she's working. What's more is i have to heft cups of tea upstaurs every tine i fancy a cuppa otherwise she gets miserable. It's my home that's being used for her work's benefit rent free ffs! I need a union.
Really?
 
So Covid originally drove this but now seems to be part of life. However it may end up being not quite so clever…..

“ The boss of electronics and white goods seller AO World has warned that staff working from home could find their jobs outsourced overseas.

John Roberts also told the Bolton-based retailer's 3,000 employees that 'hybrid working', when staff come into the office only intermittently, was banned.

'Working from home, you might as well be working abroad, which is only a step away from outsourcing,' he said, warning that cheaper workers could be sourced in places such as Bangalore in India.”

Anyone here wfh….
What a miserable twerp.

And yes I do routinely. Hybrid working. It actually works extremely well and is more effective for certain things than being in an open plan office listening to muppets gossiping.
