Savings. Councils are skint, including ours. Our Tory finance convener's attitude to it is to hell with the difficulties for staff, everyone that can WFH should do so full time and permanently and the empty buildings sold off. 

Personally i think a future where the social interaction in our office is gone, and you're either WFH or at a booked desk somewhere in amongst a bunch of folk from other departments you don't know is as bleak as f**k. 

your right it is,  not everyone loves their job or co - workers, but not everyone hates it either - despite this whole fashionable misery fad where people are forever posting facebook quotes and meme's pretending  to "hate being around people" but are mostly just fishing for compliments of " oh no we love you around!" but anyway , there's also the aspect of teamwork and learning, which i think needs to be done in the same room, if you are close enough to someone to see what they're doing , weather they're deep in focus or just casually ticking stuff off, you can make a judgement call weather to interrupt them or leave it till later. you can't do this on video calls, your always interrupting whatever they are doing and taking their full attention away from what they are doing, more than you would if you were there in person.  If you have to call someone multiple times a day on teams or xoom, no matter how valid the reason , you are being a pest

technology is great but it doesn't replace everything because we are a social species at the end of the day

Any idea what this username pish is when you attempt to register. My envelope is well binned. Is it something you can work out like your name ?

I know it's no secret that East Renfrewshire will be put back into level 3 given the rise in "cases" but that the SG are still using this as the main factor in implementing restrictions is genuinely unbelievable.

It's good to see the daily breakdown on here and, as a North Lanarkshire resident, I've been pleasantly surprised to see cases per 100k remain fairly stable here. Its no less concerning however to know that a couple of schools becoming riddled or a local outbreak somewhere will see the SG put pointless restrictions back into place which cover entire local authorities, seemingly without a second thought.

That's been the norm in places I've worked for the last few years.  If I went into an office I would barely know anyone to talk to as most of the people I actually work with are in London.  At home at least the dog pops in for a social from time to time and I can have lunch with Mrs. Back

This was covered a few pages back.  Can't remember the details but there was a way to recover your username

Just now, Have some faith in Magic said:

Is she getting grilled about the chance of hospitalisations for under 30s and the fact that every vulnerable person has been jagged? 

She was asked why we should still look a cases when hospitalisations are so low. 

The answer was “community transmission” and “not everyone has been vaccinated “…

Spain the latest to let Brits in without tests

This isn't the issue, it's the ludicrous conditions being imposed on travel from the UK and back even to green countries. Two tests to return from a green zone even if fully jagged is utterly ridiculous.

the more countries that allow unrestricted travel the more pressure will mount on our government to drop their charade.  We have a tourism industry to protect as well.
