Hi,
I don't know whether I'm having a wobble about non-remote working and after so many interviews to land an offer I'm now questioning myself.
I'm currently in a job that is fixed term so I was going to be unemployed in January 2026.
My health is better then it has ever been so I feel I don't need home working.
I commute roughly once a month as it is
I work for a council which is likely going through change. (sounds good for residents but I'm not sure what it means to jobs) seems the team leader argues the cause for FTC to be extended as I understood it and it just takes me back to my YTS (apprentice) days for a district council when the position there was very much temporary and political there too.
I commute once a month as it is to a physical office.
WFH has been isolating, I've no workplace relations.
If I were to be hard on myself as I'm embarrassed that I used up all my leave in 8 months which leaves me with 2 days to pay back for leaving at this time which I appreciate could be worse. I'd never done anything so stupid working in the private sector.
I haven't always worked from home. This time 5 years ago I was being offered a job for 16k, (kept the job as the pandemic hit) happy as larry.
I've been offered a non-remote job for a job as permanent is it is for around £500 more per annum.
New office building.
Working with older people.
I've been interviewed by the people I'd report to.
More fulfilling work.
Part public / part private
Commute isn't great but couple of different routes to get to the office and plus Monday is being swapped for Saturday (I'm strange in that it really suits me)
