Was she WFH, or could you see civil servants lying bruised and battered on the floor behind her?

Bosses Are Trying to Gaslight Employees Into Believing They Miss the Office. It's Not Working
Enraged employees are having none of managers' attempts to herd them back to their cubicles, a range of sources show.
Bosses are still trying to chivvy workers back into the office. Seems like the workers are having none of it! As a remote worker myself, I'm in absolutely no rush to get back in the office. Fuck the bosses and fuck the commercial property landlords who are no doubt trying their hardest to protect their parasitic "livelihoods".
I reckon, when I am next looking for a job I will look for one that has some working from home already so that I don’t have to be pleading for it

Shocking model shows what working from home could do to us in 25 years
Home workers could be obese, with poor eyesight, bad posture and premature wrinkles in just 25 years, a new model has predicted.

There is the distinct look of a columnist about that model
This is a bit of a luxury I know but our work place are adjusting so we go a bit back to normal, in terms of personal time management as was pre covid. At least when we're not scheduled to or needed to take calls / answer emails.
Take lunch when you like, do what you want as long as you get the work done. I could, theoretically go to the near by gym / cafe taking my lunch hour when I know it will be quieter. Or you know, just stick the laundry on, do some other boring household thing you'd otherwise have to do after work.

I must be from the future! (although I do have fewer hairs on my head).

At least with mrs21 being retired you won't be fighting over workspace at home.

They really are fucking desperate, aren't they? "In two and a half decades, you'll be old and fat!", as if people weren't already experiencing ageing and obesity before the pandemic.

Aye, and it was page-filling guff back then too.
What's that, a lack of exercise and a poor diet can make you look like shit? Well thank fuck we've got the modern news media with their fingers on the pulse, tirelessly giving us the latest bleeding-edge developments in the science of health. All those doctors and

Looks like we are being directed back to the office by September.
Mixed feelings about this
I have had my second jab. Office is quite hot and airless and don’t want to be in it over the summer. Quite like not having to wear trousers socks and shoes in hot summer. Not enjoying working from home as it’s very isolating. Would be better for mental health to go in now I think. Am very scared of covid still and not really sure I want risk of being in office. Particularly as no one useful from a job / team perspective is there.
My contract ends in September and while it may be extended I’m having mixed feelings about if I want to stay there as I don’t feel very supported, everyone seems to work in silos and I don’t have the confidence to ask for help.

Why does working from home make Susan's eyebrows enormous and bushy, and her hair so awful?

Susan did just prompt me to go and get a trim - hadn't had a haircut for 8 months.

So, I have been going in more although we are still expected to work from home. My team used to have an office we could just rock up every morning , but just before Lockdown, asbestos was found during repairs so we were shunted to another office. Now they are planning to sell that office and we will be able to go to another office when we have to go to the office again.
However, we have 7 desks for 20 of us
so we will have to book a desk . We can go to HQ where there is a bank of desks for about 30 folk (if all restrictions go) but there is potentially maybe a hundred folk for those spaces. It was fine today as only 4 others were in.
Looks like WFH will be the norm for a long time to come.
