Latest BBC News link today. If I was an employer and I was forced into giving staff compulsory four day weeks based on compressed hours, I’m be making sure they were doing them in the office.

Yet more unintended consequences

Workers could get right to four-day week

Labour is said to be considering giving people more power to choose flexible working hours.

I can understand that. I am 3 months into a new job, and I was surprised how violated I felt when my manager was asking about files in my home directory. I have been a sys admin for about a quarter of a century, and I would never go into someone's home dir unless I had a specific reason, like seeing if they had a problem with their profile (or when i had to gather evidence for HR for an investigation- that was not nice.) Ideally they would show me, rather than me looking without them. I don't have anything to hide, but I do expect some privacy. I know they can look, but they shouldn't feel able to. (I am hiding that I have another job interview lined up in a week, because I am really struggling with the lack of trust.)
