To ask if you (also) just ignore your "required" days in the office?

I am supposed to do two days. But the office is a minging hotdesk box full of coughing weirdos and the toilets are smeared with shit by 910am.

I can't do my job well in the office so I just don't go. I do manage people and they seem to appreciate the flexibility (half go into the office sometimes, half never do, we perform well).

Anyway it's been a real eye opener for the power of low key just defying silly rules.

Anyone else?

(If they cracked down I'd go elsewhere)

Feather bedded public funded employment to start with,

I'm sorry? Do you have ANY idea about being a lower level; Civil Servant? Salary - below average for the level of the work (often because the work is graded lower than in private industry). People on here talking about whether they get fruit etc as well as their tea & coffee etc at work - not for a CS, you can't even get tea & coffee for a meeting unless there's outside people present let alone have anything supplied at tea points. The older version pensions have all been changed nowadays; of course in those older days they would justify the crap salary because of the pension. Many of you get health insurance or life insurance through work - not CS. Many buildings are near enough falling apart as maintenance isn't done for cost reasons.

Yes life's OK for the Senior CS, but anyone below that you really aren't in a "feather bedded" job at all!

We're dealing with a senior CS on this thread.

God I'd have to bring my own coffee and biscuits even for an external meeting

Happily we all meet online instead 😁
