How many times have you been into your office/workplace since March 2020?

It's weird how this is working out in many ways. I'm in a team of 2 and my manager is only in once a week and pretty relaxed. I'm doing a day's volunteering on Thursday so was thinking I'd come to office Tues and Weds, but I have commitments (not 'fun' ones) Tues and weds evening so I'm thinking, sod it, I'll just go in tomorrow unless anyone gives me a reason to come in on weds - I have one call in my diary all weds so doesn't seem really pressing to come in. And I can just do that, cos I don't fancy two days in a row of going into the office and having something on in the evening.

My manager is now wfh again for a while , mostly because he has a new puppy so he is house-training the little pooch.

A rare wfh day today - as I needed my gutters sorting and the roofer needed help with his ladder - as we have no back entrance it had to go through the flat downstairs (who was in, and we all did ladder work) .

marty21 so you needed your gutters flushing via the back entrance?




Sorry I've not been well

Covid doing the rounds again at ours so lots of people wfh to avoid it atm. Just had a team meeting and 4 out of 5 of us were wfh.

Always feel better after my gutters have been given a right fixing

There's surely some Upper Clapton pun or something in there somewhere.

Late to the thread but in answer to the question: not once. And in fact the company got rid of its lease in September 2020, so there’s not even been an office to go to for over 2 years

I work for a Local Authority so there is zero likelihood of us working from home all week Management are trying to get people back , and more are coming in but in my department I reckon the majority do as much wfh days as they can . I prefer going in.

Several of my team are spending a few days per week in the office, and they're all enthusing about it. At the end of sprint review meetings the PM wheels out productivity charts and there's a clear relationship between the increase in office time and a decrease in productivity.

However, some of them really do need to spend time face-to-face because they are trainees facing a steep learning curve.

As for me, I went into the office once over a year ago which was enough, but the office is 4 hours away on the train so nobody's bleating about it.
