To ask how often you’d go to the office if it wasn’t a requirement?

[Orangegreen]

I work in quite a small team where people are rarely in the office all at once unless of a training day or larger meeting which is infrequent.

I’ve fallen into a pattern of working from home a bit more lately. Nobody has said anything about it. Nowhere is it mandated or discussed how much we actually should. For instance, some people go in for the morning and go home at lunchtime to work from home. Nobody bats an eyelid.

I haven’t been in a while so I am considering going in early next week. It will be ironic that if I go, everyone else will have probably chosen to stay at home though.

Commuting in is quite expensive and I don’t have a good reason to work from there other than to be visible. Would you go, or WFH until requested to do otherwise? As I say nobody has said anything and it is usually our choice but I don’t know if you stand out by not going in as often as others.

When I lived near work and could walk or cycle in I’d go in 3/4 times a week. Having moved out to the country now it takes one hour to get in. I do once a week and happy with that.

My team/division are required to go into the office at least 2-3 days a week. Most people go in for 2 days, some 3, but they are few & far between. Some people have an exemption and they are 1 day per fortnight, or never, as far as I can tell.

Ideally I would go once a week or once a fortnight. It's nice to chat and have a coffee, but it doesn't really make any difference to my work content/output.

Once or twice a month. and I only go in to show face really unless there is a face fi face meeting required. to me it's pointless. it's 2 and a half hour drive for me each way at least. more likely be a crash or something and can be over 3 hours 😢 it's so stressful. it's a faff to getting house in order when in office sort dinner dogs out ect . I get nothing done in office hate having to do teams calls in middle of office with everyone else on calls. if could wfh permanently would be great

I would go in every day, regardless, but I walk to work so no issues around my commute.

We have to go in at least twice a week, of which two days have to be Tues, Wed, or Thurs.

If I didn’t have to go in, I’d still do two days but I’d probably do one on a Monday.

I have to go in 3 days a week. If I had the choice it would be zero.

£15 a day in travel costs to sit and listen to people talk on the phone all day (I need to concentrate, and listening to people talk about court cases etc for hours really doesn't help my concentration). There is absolutely no need for me to be in the office and I could work from home before Covid anyway.

I'm hybrid and I can so as many or as little days in office as I like. I normally do 2-3.

I go in almost every day. Sick of working at home (but live quite close to the office so fast and cheap to get in).

At least 4, sometimes 5 days in office. Recently stopped doing client work in the community but now managing a team through transition and much easier to do this face to face.
I'm lucky though because it's a 20 min bike ride on a special off road route which is mu only exercise. Also have lots of close friends at work. There's no desk for me at home as house too small and partner wfh full time. And I get dragged into looking after kids if I'm home!!

I'd like to go in two or three days but no-one else in my team ever goes in so I don't bother. Just applied for a job that would involve human contact during the day!

I don’t enjoy wfh so go in every day

I would go in once a fortnight because I miss seeing people in person but also do like working from home (I've done it since long before the pandemic).

Every day, rain or shine

Working from home is a miserable experience, even for a day. Hate it 😢

I only work part time and don’t need to go in but I do go there two mornings a week.

Exactly this, to expand on my previous post 🙂

I have been WFH for 12 years. I go to meetings in London x 8-10 times a year.

In an ideal world, I’d go in once a week. Or once every two weeks.
