If I had still been a permie it would have been WFH though.

I had to be on clientco site in London this morning. All part of the job.
Left to come home 2 pm, just before the railways started to melt down.
Or whatever the snowy equivalent is.

Must have a politician on the board, eh hyper?Originally posted by hyperD View PostOur clientco have the draconian mindset that WFH is Verboten, especially to IT staff with VPN. One bod out in the sticks was forced to take a day's annual leave as WFH was denied.
Fast forward to 10:00am today and management decreed that we could go home.
So, rather than announcing on Thu that everyone should WFH, instead, everyone spunked out cash on transport costs to get into clientco, do 1 hours work and then risk the roads to go back home, ensuring the clientco did no business for a day.
And one person wasted one day's annual leave.
Dontcha just love these dinosaur *******?
