Dennis Reynolds Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 It's funny how WFH worked for two years when the government said we had to but all of a sudden, it now doesn't. Thankfully my employer isn't as backwards as the PM and I'll continue WFH only going into the office when it's absolutely required. Which believe it or not, isn't very often.

The thing is, once many of the Tory-types are directly affected by the introduction of these extreme policies/legislation, they suddenly realise what they voted for, but of course it’s too late then. It’s the exact same in my role as a Union Rep. The previously rabid anti-Union in my workplace flocked to the Union to sign up when our employer used ‘Fire and Rehire’ to take away peoples final salary pensions and remove other so-called ‘perks’. Absolute hypocrites. Yes union membership is crucial more than ever now. Ive always been a union member. 3 minutes ago, Dennis Reynolds said: It's funny how WFH worked for two years when the government said we had to but all of a sudden, it now doesn't.

They basically want to ensure that they literally can keep an eye on you and make you work every second of your hours , when as ive said before its been proven that people working from home works just as much as those working in offices . In fact sometimes more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It comes down to the difference between good workers and piss takers. If you're good at your job, productive, conscientious etc then working from home is magic. You can smash it, without being interrupted by the wasters at work. On the other hand, there are folk who just don't work unless there's somebody watching over their shoulder all day. These people have been exposed by working from home. It's understandable that the government would not be in favour of working from home. I've worked for a couple of government entities, as well as in the private sector. The employees I've encountered in government fall much more into the piss taker category above!

Cade Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 So, Boris claims that when "working from home", he gets easily distracted by cheese and coffee and ends up not doing any work. Ergo, everybody working from home is the same as him, ergo working from home must be banned. But At work, he has things like suitcases of booze and birthday cakes and karaoke parties to distract him. No wonder he never gets anything done. Can't work at home, can't work at work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shooter McGavin Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Tory MP Rachel Maclean telling people to “work more hours or move to a higher paid job” to combat the cost-of-living crisis, So aye, if you’re working two jobs and still relying on food-banks, as many are, it’s because you’re not working enough apparently. You’ll need 3 jobs now, and remember to take overtime at every one of them, oh and just eat plain pasta at 50p a bag for the rest of your life, and if you’re not willing to do all of that then it’s your fault for not handling your money or lifestyle well enough.

Shooter McGavin Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 I think I’ve solved the homeless crisis! Why don’t they just buy homes? Oh I also think I’ve solved the problem of people relying on foodbanks! Why don’t you go round your neighbours bins and eat their leftovers? And amazingly, I’ve just solved the problem of pensioners being freezing in their own homes! Why don’t they sell their house and move into their shed, heavily insulate it and chuck in a room heater and bingo!
