When it's 'a bit quiet.' do you really think people - in the actual OFFICE - are watching Christmas films, baking cakes, writing a book, putting out washing, walking the dog, learning a new language, going out buying a new handbag, getting their nails done, etc etc etc?
Behave yourself. As a pp said, pre covid and this mass work from home movement, people had to get permission to leave 10 minutes early for an appointment, and would be told off for being back from lunch 5 minutes late.
Whilst I agree that in some ways, it's nice to have a flexible work life, and slightly more flexible hours, and to not have one to two hours a day travel time on top of your work day, and to be able to have half an hour off now and again for something (not medical related) this thread is living proof that many people who work from home take the piss. Royally.
The 'what am I meant to do when my work day is quiet day' brigade make me laugh. Not your bloody laundry, walking the dog, watching a Christmas film, 'taking a nap.' or making a felt bunny rabbit that's for sure! All you're doing is proving that you've not got enough to do!
The very idea of doing any of this in work time in the office just makes me PMSL. What boss is actually going to allow that?! I am willing to bet that your bosses don't know the half of it! If they cottoned on to what people are doing, your work from home opportunity would go out of the window!
This thread is doing work from home people no favours at all!
Keep it up though. Many of you are spectacularly proving the work from home naysayers right! 😎
