Reply to: Bored with WFH yet?

Do not take this as a dig, honestly don't mean it that way. But I've found that some people that say the above need to be around people to think, they have to talk to think. Which is fine but there are other people like me at the other end of the scale, leave me alone to think.

I don't need to be around people to think. I do find it much easier to allocate tasks, get feedback and share ideas though.

I'm sure I've been that person several times

Sorry to dissapoint you but no you haven't

Only boring people are bored.

if you are bored of WFH you are bored of life

[woohoo]

Sometimes you just get so much more done face to face, and sometimes the office environment is just more productive in itself.

I also think it's really important to try and meet as many of your co-workers as you can - people work so differently when they feel, uh "socially connected" for want of a better word.

I'm sure we've all met that person we thought was a dick and found them to be thoroughly agreeable over a pint.

Most gigs have had one day a week or more WFH over the last ten years, this is the first time it's been 100%.

I love it, no struggling to make small talk with office drones, no commute and top IT equipment in my home-office.

The only drawback has been having the kids off school and going mad at the same time. Four-year-old loves bombing the Video-calls but the team just take no notice, I'm just Mr. Dad to them.

I hope the whole industry goes like this but to be honest it only really makes sense if you contract so you can pay for the home-office equipment, software licences and sundries.

Never thought I'd say it but I am.....

Normally, I like a bit of skive but client has ramped down the work massively. Its a case of "no dont touch it theres no-one in the office".

Oh, WFH.

I thought you meant WTFH!

You think you've had enough of being at home. Spare a thought about your poor wife and kids who don't get a well deserved 8 hour break from you anymore.

Think about poor mailman !

Going into the office was the break “for me”

Ironically, my current contract was the first time I’ve had to go into the office 5 days a week for something like 12 years.

Now been WFH since March. Doubt I will return before my contract finishes.

[Whorty]

As bored as I might get WFH, apparently w@nking in the office is frowned upon so it's probably best I stay at home to do it

[eek]

Nope, we were told no return to office this year

Over 50’s have not to return until vaccine in available

Friend of mine has been working from home for years. Used to brag about it all the time; 2 years ago he got a kid and the wife stopped working. He's been wishing to have an office ever since and before the pandemic he also went to work from the public library a few times. He's not sending me bragging messages on whatsapp anymore.

I’m bored with the summer holidays, will be much better when there’s nobody loitering around in my house while I’m WFH.
