Jacob Rees-Mogg - Common People

[rubbershoes]

It may look stupidly shallow and is in fact just that but it could be that the vermin's paymasters who own a lot of commercial property some of which may well be rented out to the civil service are losing a lot of money which they can start to recoup if people are back in their offices.

There's that. But also they want everything to appear to go back to how it was pre pandemic to support their narrative of having steered us through covid. They were right all along, don't you know? Look, everyone back in the office.

I totally get what you're saying but the place I worked remained rented throughout. However, there have been more people than desks for some time so he could be trying to get more business by insisting everyone go back, thus creating a need for more space.

TBH, I'm so jaded about the current regime I wouldn't be surprised at anything, it seems that the more corrupt they obviously are, the more they can get away with.

Our department had already started on the road to hybrid working anyway, with one eye on then ditching the most expensive of the three offices we have in the city, so will be curious to see how this 'back to the office' plays out in reality.

We had been told to expect a two-three days in the office set-up unless people actually wanted to go in every day (as some have been doing throughout anyway), but it wasn't really being enforced particularly vigorously, and one of the other Covid working life changes I'm sure I'm not alone in now experiencing is that my line manager is 300 miles away and I've never met her. The manager above her is even further away and I've never met her either. In fact, in my team of nine, only three of us are based here and we're all the same grade (low). I've 'gone into the office' a few times as far as my Outlook calendar and our online desk booking system says, but in reality I've gone in, done a couple of things that I could only do there and gone straight home again. Didn't see any of my team there and nobody knew any difference.

Like all public sector workers, civil servants are traditional Tory scapegoats, and no doubt this announcement will have gone down well with the readers of the scum press and traditional Conservative voters a few weeks before the local elections.

Awful man /stating the obvious:

 

[Serene]

He was on World This Weekend today defending the Christian principle of saving people from evil traffickers by deporting them to Rwanda.
His Grace the Archbish misunderstands what the policy is attempting to achieve. It's not the abandonment of responsibility but the taking on of a very difficult responsibility. Oh, and the Prime Minister spoke to Parliament in good faith.
5.40 minutes in, if you can bear the languid hypocrisy.

It was probably recorded in a morning or early afternoon, as he clears anything from mid-afternoon onwards for his second jobs.

 

[stavros]

Awful man /stating the obvious:

Are there any rules about such slights against parliamentary committees?

 

[hash tag]

I hear that Andrew Marr had a very personal go at Rees Mogg Jacob Rees-Mogg tells Andrew Marr to get 'perspective' on his Dad's lockdown burial

 

[Serene]

Word is that Mogg is wanting to abolish the Reform Act 1832 and return to Rotten Boroughs. He is also opposed to members of the Opposition being present in Parliament and especially at Question Time.

What an absolute cunt. Nothing more to be said.

 

[ruffneck23]

Actually cant contain myself, there is more to be said...

I'd wrap my resignation letter around a brick and hand it in unconventionally.

 

[Ax^]

Brexit oppourtunities does that mean send money to his hedge fund in dublin

 

[magneze]

How do they get the note if they're not in the office? Twat.

 

[Ax^]

Ress Mogg is more than likely just revisiting childhood trauma

why would you work from home and spend real time with your kids

can you not afford a nanny?


in his view kids should only see a parent as an absent figure

Minister of Victorian Mill Owners and Getting Our Fucking Bit, Don't You Worry.

has anyone checking if he is related to charles boycott

has a few simularities

 

[not-bono-ever]

he did a walk through on my friends department this week and his team of lackeys did the above notes I think. I only know this as it was my mates first day in for 2 months. people were not impressed .

I wish the punch gallery would be updated to include a 'Smash ReesMogg's face in with a skate board' option.

Exclusive : Simon Case and at least four permanent secretaries raise alarm over Johnson government’s tactics

also :

Spot checks on office working by Jacob Rees-Mogg, including “sorry you were out when I visited” notes left on empty Whitehall desks, have seen the Cabinet Office minister branded “the milk monitor” by disgruntled officials.

Case told the prime minister over the weekend that Rees-Mogg’s strategy was unwise and that the language against civil servants was going too far.

And to be fair to Simon Jenkins, which I don't often want to be , I thinkl he's got Rees-Mogg's number in this :

Office work has changed for ever, but the minister is leaving letters to civil servants as if they’re his butler

 

[bluescreen]

And not altogether unconnected .....



also :

He's drunk on power and out of touch with reality. He needs to be stopped.

[NoXion]

Such stupidly shallow thinking, I worked for the civil service before lockdown and during it and productivity rocketed.

The company I work for saw similar results, and they changed my department to WFH permanently. They didn't cut our pay, either. I reckon they've saved more than that by not maintaining the closed offices.

I don't say this lightly, but I could very easily see him allying with the blackshirts had he been around then and thought it'd help his career.
His selfish, elitist and grasping mindset has clearly been encouraged since infanthood.

 

[ruffneck23]

And off to the back benches you shall go.
