Working from home when there's no work to do 09:21 - Jun 25 with 4373 viewsThisIsMyUsername

What do people do when 'working from home' but there's no work to do?

My new job involves working from home sometimes. Today the one meeting I had to travel for has been cancelled. I'm now sitting at home with perhaps one or two scraps to do which will take one minute each.

What should I do?

Use the time to start job hunting, even if window shopping. If you have a management team with no contingency planning or work management it could be a sign that things aren't rosy down the road.

Overall, this thread has made me feel much less guilty about my self-perceived level of productivity today.

There were four or five little tasks I needed to do in the end. I've done them all. I'd say they've taken a grand total of 20 minutes to sort.

I'm bored. I've started window shopping already.

Hey, hey, I don't work
'Cause I don't have to
I don't have to work
There's no, no work to do

Now I have an earworm. A pleasant one mind you :)

Welllllll, this was maybe a tiny bit self-fulfilling, wasn’t it?

Finding people not working on a place where working people might go if they aren’t working?
I assume the working people who are actually working probably didn’t feature much in your population sample…

I was told that when working from home its very important to have a very clear separation between working and leisure time.

So at exactly 4 o'clock I like to turn off the laptop, put phone on silent make an enormous coffee and roll a big one

Maybe stick on some old jungle..


Sounds like a very sensible approach. I've posted this before but everytime my colleagues text WFH to the teams chat I hear this
