If you're still working and you vote for Reform you really have a screw loose

Whilst I think that maybe there's a place for working from home in certain jobs I do believe having workmates and working at your place of employment is very important.
Do you for instance have the same drive or is there the temptation to get up when you want and whilst I suspect many firms will monitor their home workers there may be a few that don't and that could lead to all sorts of problems.
Also those that do manual work would be exempt for obvious reasons and many do long hours and shift work so where is their life/work balance.
With the increase in N.I. and minimum wages which have decimated many companies the last thing they can afford are workers who are unproductive,
People of my Grandfathers era worked much harder than those of today. Technology has made manual work much easier, but like with farming and industry these things cost vast sums of money,


That's a crock of uninformed sh1t

I'm one of the half and half types.

I tend to be much more productive at the 'getting stuff done' part of my job when working at home, but I have a reasonably senior (god knows how that happened!) role and need to be visible/available to my team and that bit of the job is more tricky to do at home. So for me that half and half balance works well.

I Like that balance, but to build on your third paragraph, I think it's got to be difficult for anyone who starts a new role at an organisation who are mostly home based. Not just about meeting people, but learning the job, as I think you learn as much from what you observe other people doing as you do from formal training.


I’m not surprised you’re senior dubbers.

Not just anyone can quality assure the quantities of salt going over those fries.

I don’t know what you and J2 are arguing with me for? You can request it; your employer can refuse it. That’s literally what I’ve said. You don’t have a right to work from home.


It takes two to argue. Either you are agreeing with us or there is a reason you are arguing!

The point we have clearly made is that there is a right for workers to request working from home. Currently the employer can only refuse it if they can justify the need for you to be present at the workplace. Whether everyone who is refused it bothers to contest poor grounds is another issue. But it is currently a right for those who can do so.

If working in an office rather than at home made you more productive and less prone to skiving off then Phil and Gav would have had to get proper jobs years ago.
