Start at a new role this week. They have introduced agile working. All desks are hot desks and you need to book a desk every day. 2 days WFH allowed as well. Everyone also has a laptop which uses VPN and Skype for Business.

No real need to be in the office which with a 2hr commute is ok by me.

We are loosely agile and they want me to turn my desk into a hot desk. Told the campaigners i am walking if that happens.

Better start hitting seek up

Said I was working from home today but in actual fact I wasnt even in the country.

Was a long weekend fares on Monday were ridiculous so I stay an extra day in Belgium without telling work. Did a few hours in the morning and dialled in to all meetings. They were none the wiser.

I would find it hard to work from home. I would procrastinate too much.

"I really need to do that work. Hmmm... which room needs cleaning?".

I get this, one needs a sense of ownership and space in their job, what ever that job is.

Hot desking????

Has the corporate world learned nothing from communism?

If everyone has ownership of something no one gives a * about it.

My brother in law has his office set up at home. He seems like the opposite. They are at him 24/7 to get s**t done. He cant get away. Weve been there for tea and he has a laptop in eyes view he can pop over to at a moments notice.

F**k that noise!!

Gets paid very nicely and a LOT of time in Lieu though
