This is disrespectful to women who have homeschooled and wfh?

"The general view is people have had quite a few days off, and it wouldn't be a bad thing for people to see their way round to making a passing stab at getting back into the office." Boris Johnson.

Boris and his cronies need us all back in the office as they own so much property and land and their incimes have been hard hit.

As always with Boris, the Tories and their friends - it's all about money

Disrespectful yes. To women only? Nope. Everyone.

I've been lucky (?!) enough to be going out to work as normal (community NHS) throughout, my usual hours plus extra shifts when needed. I hadn't realised that extra days off were an option!

What has him being white got to do with it??

Perhaps he should be telling that to all the
MPs who are should be back in Parliament and scrutinising the all bills being passed without scrutiny, all of them back not the handful we see on tv!!!!

What an absolute cunt.

I’ve had it easy compared to some, but I haven’t had ‘days off’ . I don’t generally have strong feelings one way or another about people I don’t know personally but I think I hate him.

@WellThisIsShit

Deeply ignorant man. And we voted him in...

Speak for yourself!!

Deeply insulting! I am completely burnt out after wfh for over a year and homeschooling 2 children, I'm also a single parent so the burden to keep the ship sailing has been incredibly difficult. What an arse BJ is (and no I did not vote that buffoon into office)

To me it sounds disrespectful to everyone!!!

Jesus. They must think we're so stupid. Last July and August they pushed the 'back to the office' mantra. In the next breath they locked down Leicester and Manchester quickly followed. Idiots.

What I find almost more frustrating is the lack of vision of creating a new way that is truly preferable. Every grain of evidence is that by and large many roles can be done from home and many people want to work at home much more. The government should be creating a long term plan to ease this transition. Not telling people to go backwards.

@Bluntness100

I don’t get why this is about women homeschooling? A fuck ton of people have been furloughed, some for the best part of a ‘year, so yeah getting back to work is a good thing cor many, not more holidays.

What’s he supposed to say “ well obvs exc women (not men though) who have wfh and homeschooled”

Honestly are you just looking to be offended.

I agree

Well I know my kids teachers had more than a few days off! Provision was CRAP.
Yes they had a handful in but 97% of kids were at home and we got 1hr a week useless zoom. What the fu** were they doing? Never mind the office, the schools were a joke.

Considering he says “ finding your way back around the office” means he ISN’T referring to furloughed staff. As generally office staff could and did work from home right throughout the pandemic and therefore weren’t furloughed. We have proven that we don’t actually need to find out way back around any office.

So yes this is massively insulting to all of us who have done EXTRA office hours grappling with adaptations to the work process, dealing with and being available for clients in financial distress evening and weekends, and homeschooling as well.
Not to mention all the vocations that still had to go out every day to their normal place of work such as all public services , transport industry and retail etc

He’s a tool

He will be absolutely desperate to get people back into offices because of the decimation of town/city centre commercial rental yields. (No guesses for what sort of people benefit from that). So he’s stoking a rhetoric suggesting that people working from home aren’t really working they’re having time off.

@WellThisIsShit

Deeply ignorant man. And we voted him in...

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!!!

No, WE didn't!

I'd as soon have voted for a 3 legged slug crossed with an alien. The man - and the rest of his corrupt, hypocritical, elitist, dictatorial party are downright dangerous!

@ParadiseIsland

Seeing that sort of comment AND the fact he has been proven to be yet again a lying cheating bastard, how can any woman ever vote for him again?

Women sometimes find it hard to leave lying, cheating bastards, to the extent that they have babies with them while trying to get taxpayer-funded renovations and jobs for all their mates. Allegedly.

Perhaps just speak about the school you know. I am a teacher, have worked incredibly hard and continue to work in more challenging circumstances than usual now students are back at school. My school has not been crap.

It's disrespectful to everyone working. I think his comment is directed at those furloughed. There are at least 4 people working throughout for every 1 furloughed. Both DH, myself and many friends and colleagues are burnt out. This has nothing to do with women or homeschooling. It applies to the single and childless too.

The return to office needs to be thought out more. It's clear a lot of industries aside from physical retail could survive and be productive WFH. It's rash to rush back into old ways without rethinking a more sustainable future with hybrid working patterns, reduced transport/pollution, reduced air travel, deurbanisation (which bring economic life outside city centres, repurposing commercial buildings for more housing or having more local offices), accelerated technologies, etc

It’s all well and good suggesting that we can return to work but it only takes one person to test positive and a whole class of children are sent home for ten days.
As for days off!? Other than Christmas I can’t remember the last day off I last had!

What else do you expect from Sh*gger Johnson - the man who forgets how many children he has with how many different women he's dumped - he knows nothing about women's lives and cares less

My daughter is an adult now so I fortunately didn't have a child at hom whilst working from home, but my colleague did and she didn't have any days off. I'd love to know where Boris got this general feeling from. Virtually every thread on WFH I've read in last year have all been patent having to work into the night to catch up on work missed during the day, parents occupying kids whilst also working from home. Almost every thread those WFH said they would lie. Split of WFH and work in the office, I've seen less than 10 posts from people saying they want to back to the office full time. Boris mist read different things to me.

Mayb.he should have asked in the census what people actually think to WFH rather than make assumptions that we the general public have said working parents have had days off!

I think he speaks for himself, as he always does. What does that say about how seriously he has taken this national disaster?

@CupoTeap

Fuck you BJ.

You fucking cunt.

How dare you.

Not sure he reads mumsnet...

I bet enough of you voted for him, it's what tories do.
Have always done. Labour are better, but still not there yet.
Public school boys don't really care about anyone else other than themselves
