Covid: 'People are tired of working from home'

Canary Wharf expects people to return to the office but may choose home working some of the time.

I’m not

 

[chunkyshanhawk53]

I’d say he’s right. Whilst I enjoyed the novelty, I miss the office

flexibility going forward will be good, but I can’t imagine always wfh

This iteration of the lockdown has been grim, but kids are back at school soon and it will be warming up.

The joy of shutting the laptop and being out in the garden with a bottle in hand within seconds will be back. By the time the work from home message is removed in June no one will want to be back

My place has said anyone wanting to WFH full time is welcome to. I imagine I'll be 2 days a week in the office at most

 

[bennett83]

I only did 8 working days at home and it was shit

 

[Pseudonym Number 1]

Not missing the office or the people I work with one bit. Tbh I couldn't care less if most of them just vanished off the face of the earth.

The quote is a bit out of context. He’s said people
will want a mix. Which is absolutely correct.

Somebody is panicking that they are going to left with loads of premium empty office space methinks.

The quote at the end, seems to suggests some people still want to continue home working.:

"Lloyds Banking Group is set to reduce its office space by 20% over two years after a staff survey found that nearly 80% wanted to work at home for at least three days a week."

I'd happily never go back to the office

 

[monkeytassle]

I'd want to continue with a home set up but in the understanding its 1 day a week or when I need to. Wfh is rubbish and I've been back to canary wharf and it's also shit as there are no food places open or shops etc

This is true. The headline is a bit dramatic !

Flexibly won’t last if companies have to pay for office space not being used. I’m guessing the attraction of being in an office is the social aspect? reduced numbers and social distancing surely will make it hard to do the good bits very well.

 

[Stormo]

I’m not tired of the money I’m saving in petrol and car parking

 

[chriswallace85]

I got sick of it like. Surprised me to be honest.

Dunno, hot desk with smaller premises

On the last point yes, but it won’t last forever

 

[ErichZann]

I never want to go back into the office

 

[Some Random Guy]

I'm happy enough wfh permanently. Saves me 2 hours a day on my commute and wanking at my desk isn't frowned upon.

 

[Paddy O'Dors]

Some are, some aren't. That just the general consensus I've picked up from the 15 or so people I work with. Our place said last week flexible working will be in after June.

Even during zoom meetings?

I'm fed up with it now. I don't have to go back to an office but I'd love to work pretty much anywhere else other than my home right now. Home is for relaxing and putting a full stop on the working day, the lines are far too blurred now.

Sick as fuck of cooking three meals a day and cleaning up after myself as well.
