Is anyone's workplace (office based) bosses refusing the work from home?

Just that really.

They won’t have a choice soon

Yep. DH's work.

Muppets will be muppets.

Mine. Team of 45 and only 5 laptops available so no working from home

My work has just implemented fully wfh. This is relying on everyone who can using personal laptops as there are about 5 company ones (50 staff). Some company laptops were ordered but not received yet and by the time they are, not sure if they will be able to be configured.
It's been ok so far, no pushback from staff on using their own devices as all grateful to be home and working (so paid). I expect this raises security/data protection issues, but we are muddling as best we can, not sure what else we could do without completely closing down.

My boss wants to wfh herself but for me to come in. Nice.

We are all still in work

We can't as it'd mean taking customer files home which is a massive no-no.

Yes, and we're non frontline public sector. I'm deemed high risk so I'm at home, but everyone else has had to go in.

My workplace has insisted that anyone who can work from home must do so. They are taking the long term view that it is the only way to sustain our business. As we supply the NHS, other emergency services and other businesses that will be kept going through this crisis, we need to be pragmatic.

We've been divided into two teams in my department. One team will work from home on Monday, Wednesday and Friday and the other Tuesday and Thursday for alternate weeks from now until end of April.

I was the only one in the department without a laptop as have never been important enough to need one but miraculously one has been allocated to me now.
