Returning to the office.

I've been in once in the last 18months. My work was fairly flexible before, previously i worked for a very old fashioned firm where I just cant see that old school office with paper everywhere and everyone being in before 9am or eyebrows were raised being fit for the modern reality of work and technology.

Our current work have removed print access for everyone - if you want to print something you have to get approved as a printer user. This would be madness to my old ways of working where nothing was done until it was all printed of and stuck in a folder and stored alphabetically in a big filing rack - locked serimoniously at the end of each day.

It must be over 3 years since i printed anything and the loss of my print access has gone by without note.

Yeah same, I've not printed anything since being told to work from home at the start of the pandemic, well except for my matchday ticket because of the shite new system that City have introduced - but that's for a whole different thread!!!
 
Firms will adopt the office business model that suits them and their employees. Hybrid and flexible models will likely be the norm. Rigid 9-5, 5 days a week, and all packed in one building doesn’t make a lot of sense when you think about it and especially so in an era of easy and fast communications.

Yep - bought a printer for the kids home schooling and its shit. Back in the day i could always use the one in the office. I have to keep reminding myself that with the £6 a day train tickets that i have not been buying i could have a new printer every month.
 
As a teacher. I've been working in a smallish room with 5 different groups of 30 different people each day without any ppe or social distancing throughout the pandemic. However, having had numerous positive cases in one class, with absolutely no change to PPE or social distancing, I finally caught it. Despite being double jabbed I still had it bad and am now still off with long covid, 6 weeks later. It's shit.

Where you can work at home, social distance, where masks, test yourselves regularly, most importantly don't be a dick!

Lecture over. CTID
 
The government should bring back official guidance to work from home where possible to avoid a surge of the Omicron variant, the Liberal Democrat Party has urged.

It pointed to advice from the government's SAGE committee that stated working from home would have the biggest individual impact on reducing transmission.

Respect to all teachers - they have had the rough end of this.
 
I have been split couple days at home couple in office. Just been told working from home 5 days a week from Monday
 
New advice doesn't change anything. Not been in the office since March last year. Thought I'd miss it & did contemplate going back in say 1 day a week but as time has gone on I've come to realise that I just can't be arsed with a 50 minute drive plus having to dodge rush-hour etc. It'll be a real shock to the system if/when I need to go in.
