We both have been going to work through this whole thing.....telecoms, so classed as key workers.
Many of the office staff have worked from home and have loved it. They have worked effectively and the benefits there for all to see, more time with family, less traffic and better for the environment.
Surely, it's time we had a rethink and gave people the option of home working? |

Now there is so much technology and communications available all the more reason for office based jobs to be done from home calls Centers telesales ect.
It would also be more cost effective, no big office buildings needed more space for housing |

What does this actually have to do with Boris? Decisions on whether staff can home work are entirely down the the company that employs them. |

He actually said "go back to work if you can". "
So, he has said that all along. Why is he saying it again?? I know that our boss listens to his advice and that will be a 'all back in then'... |

Right, I'm still not seeing the connection with whether you work in an office or from home. Furlough is coming towards an end, therefore people need to return to work, if the economy doesn't start to pick up then a lot of people won't have jobs to go back to. He isn't saying, everyone must pack back into an office immediately. As I said before, where you work from is entirely down the the employer and the nature of the job you do. |

I'm saying it because he literally said it. What does it mean anyway? People have always been going to work 'if they can'. So what's changed. I'm not talking about furlough, I'm talking about those that have been working from home efficiently and effectively since this thing begun. I don't know why you wish to pick a fight?? |

I'm not picking a fight, I'm having a discussion, Boris has not told everyone to pack back into offices and it still doesn't change the fact that the employer is responsible for where you can work. The government are allowing as many businesses as possible to reopen within safe (ish) limits, working practices are for the individual companies to decide. |

Here is an idea, why does he not say, let's save the environment, cut traffic, better work life balance and have a home working revolution. He could help change the culture instead of going back to how were. It's just poor messaging again, as it has been throughout this whole thing! |

Perhaps you should ask him, all of those changes take time to implement, time that a lot of businesses don't have right now. If they get told to do all that right now, they will fold. Most companies who can have staff working at home are already looking to make it more permanent, they are recognising the savings and the benefits. Not all businesses can adopt that approach though. The economy needs to get moving again, a lot of the rest will organically follow or can be brought up again when businesses aren't on their knees. |

But the people that have been able to work from home have, thousands of them. It's been working already |

WFH is going to be a domino change, it's going to cause changes in so many different parts of society and workplace culture. I know some organisations have closed their offices completely with everyone working remotely. The reduced demand for office space will lead to a fall in rents which will affect investors/local and central govt.
Fewer people commuting to work will reduce demand for coffee and sandwich shops.
Within the work environment, the need and role of lower and middle managememt is also going come under review. If businesses can do it cheaper, it will be hard to stop them. |

To summarise - we like working from home so everyone else should. Well guess what, some of us don’t.
I’ve been working 50 hours a week from home since mid March and absolutely hate it. I’m functioning at about 50% of my usual productivity and miss people I didn’t even care about 4 months ago.
Ok I’m saving a few quid in commuting but in no way does that make up for social interaction. I miss the guy who sells me coffee and his rescue dog and wonder if he’ll still be there after all this. I miss my colleagues and impromptu lunches and nights out.
For about 8 weeks the only people I had any interaction with were the ones selling me food once a week. Fortunately I’ve been able to see my folks and play golf the last few weeks and now travel is back on the agenda life has improved significantly.
We need to get back to normal now, and the sooner the better. Those of us who’ve been lucky enough to have worked and been paid throughout need to do our bit and support local businesses, make the most of government incentives to eat out and most of all get back to reality....including work.

The problem Boris, Rishi and co have is that they have stalled the economy and now can't get it going again.
Boris is trying to encourage people back into the office as when people can work from home they spend less money (a coffee on the way to work, lunch in the cafe, another coffee, a trip to the shops, drinks in a bar with co workers etc). As such there is less money being put back into the system and businesses lose custom resulting in closures and job losses which puts further strain on the economy.
From an environmental and virus standpoint working from.home is a good thing (less pollution, congestion and chance of transmission). |

Well she seems to have vanished off the face of the earth (weren't they supposed to be getting married?)and you would think a new pm baby would be all over the papers?
Rumours that he has been caught banging waitresses and she has fucked off.
Rather more outlandish that he is a sex addict and has a serious drinking problem
Edit..if the above is a load of shite I take no responsibility
