WFH


We seem to be in a weird transitionary phase at the moment, offices are open and yet people are still reluctant to work in them. At our firm we're about to instigate a policy of one fixed day per week when everyone is expected to be in plus one variable day (of choice) when people should be in and then the rest of the week people can either be in or work from home (WFH) so far (increasingly frustratingly) people are coming up with all kinds of excuses as to why they can't be in the office. It seems like it will take a while for confidence and habit to get back to some kind of normal. Makes planning anything f2f involving several people almost impossible, but worse than that, I read somewhere that one in four people are looking to move jobs before Christmas this year, that's an incredible number of people! I do wonder whether the "live where you like and tele-work" ideal has been somewhat oversold, it'll end in tears I reckon.
