Working from home?

[Bryan+]

The very definition of working smarter, not harder for some folks here.

Enjoy the snow next week

I only live 5 minutes from my office which is at a council depot so I'm quite happy to be in the office as I can mingle with the lads I used to work with daily outside and as most of the indoor staff have come off the tools and into office roles as well it's a pretty good crew with barely any pretentious nobheads.

Much chat on here about production and productiveness.
What do you actually produce whilst reclining on your sofa with your laptop.
Does anyone actually make anything nowadays.
I await incoming hostile.

I've been mostly home working since the pandemic. I'm now technically 'hybrid' though - I only tend to go into the office 3 times a month on average.

Knowledge. It's a Knowledge economy. Apparently.

Same reason historically we’ve used donkeys to carry people and materials around.

Someone’s got to do the labour.

Started working from during the whole Covid debacle. Changed companies since and we are no in the office 3 days a week. Forced on us by the higher ups, all to do with collaboration etc. I only speak to peope on my team so its pointless.

Much more productive at home than in the office. Plus my office is based in Bootle, so not having to avoid the living dead is always a bonus. However the chicken shop makes up for it.

Edit: Another plus point is how much people fume when people work from home. If you're not working 12 hours doing back breaking labour apparently you're lazy.

I actually work more from home as the travel time is spent at my laptop instead. I normally work 0800-1700 in the office but I tend to do 0700-1700 at home.

Whenever this subject is raised I'm always astounded at the sheer number of office workers on GOT.
I really shouldn't be, as I imagine the decline of the manufacturing industries, mining, dock work etc. along with the huge growth of technology has changed the nature of employment drastically in the last 50 years or so.
Anybody know what the figures are/were?

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 ?

Absolutely love working from home, mate.

Work all day dressed in a vest and your kecks...
And the best part is, you can rub one out whenever you want!

Can't believe it took 6 pages for the real reason we all enjoy working from home

Agreed rubbing one out in the office never went down well

 

[GoodisonRoadSupperBarWool]

Done it since covid

I only go on Mondays and wfh rest off the week, just got an office bulit in the garden as our house isn’t the biggest be in this week hopefully.

Better at home as I get far more done than when in the office: saves going into town and I feel a lot happier. Plus when I get emails from idiots I can just shout and swear rather than letting my anger bulid up. Or listening to women in their mid 20s talk about [Poor language removed] like love island

You can do that at work if you wanted mate, then you’ll be working at home permanently.

Win Win?

Software, which is involved in most of the modern world? Most of the "excel spreadsheet"/paper pusher/HR/IT jobs, most tech support is better and easier to do from home. I'd rather not have some randos distract me by chatting wham, as it usually happens in the office. I also don't care about 99% of the people I meet in the office or their lives.

It's just not applicable to every job - same to how you've probably had to do heavy lifting or a lot of moving back in the day in those factories and workshops but a lot of other jobs (probably in the same building/company/branch as yours) are just basically sitting in front of a desk and answering the phone/emails.
