Greedy Jambo Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 It's been a month of lock down and there's only about 2 new guitar players on here and there's still the same folk staring at watches. I think we're ****ed in all honestly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smack Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Nah not changing, as soon as it's all done and dusted and touch wood I survive, it's straight back to licking lamp posts for me. Quite like the new queueing system though so I hope that sticks. Can't stand it, and it's usually pensioners who are guilty of this, when someone queues about 6 inches away from you. A well timed fart can save you but it's not always possible to have a pump up your sleeve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Boy Named Crow Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 I think there'll be a rush of euphoria when the ban lifts. Pubs will be rammed, sporting events, concerts etc will sell out. How long this continues might depend on how long the lockdown goes on. People might demand more flexible working too. But I guarantee you, it will take no time at all for the Seethe thread to return to normal, people will still be arseholes!

My work for example, the lease on our current building which houses 1250 staff is up at the end of Oct 21, we were looking to either refurbish and extend the building by 20-30% or go for a new build on land we've bought nearby, costs are 25m for the refurb/extension or 60m for the new build. Now there could easily be a case for home working negating the need for our building completely and instead the majority work from home and use one of the companies other nearby sites for face to face meetings etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Mrs works for a council in London and they recently moved into purpose built offices. It's all based on hotdesking as there's purposely not enough space for all the staff. Other than attend meetings there's nothing they can do in the office that they can't do at home. Even then, she can dial into any meeting she needs to. I can see there being a big change in the business world on the meeting front. They've recently been forced to embrace video conferencing and many of them won't go back to making needless trips with the extra travel expenses unless they absolutely have to.

Yeah, in my job my team is split over 4 locations anyway (Livi, London, Milan and Munich) and I only have one person reporting to me in Livi. Almost everyone I deal with on a daily basis is via email/phone rather than face to face so there's no real reason that I couldn't work from home most days with the occasional visit to the office. One huge upside people will have seen is zero travel costs, I've got colleagues in London that payout somewhere near 600 quid a month on their train pass so for them to work from home would have a huge financial impact. Also not to mention that the roads should be a lot quieter when people do have to travel! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CostaJambo Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 I am hoping my work will bring in hot desking with different projects being allocated desk space on different days of the week, I heard they have appointed someone internally to speak to all the Project Managers during this current situation to make sure we are capturing all the benefits for future consideration. Trouble will be convincing all our clients not to send tens and tens of arseholes over to UK for a year or two at a time all expenses paid who just basically do the bare minimum and leave us to struggle along. Also hoping the wife and I will finally give up smoking but not as confident with that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
