I hope you're ringing customer services up to get a reduction in price if you're not getting what you're paying for. Done that several times with car insurance when they've stuck on more at renewal and premiums miraculously go back down!According to Virgin Media's publicity gumpf, I'm supposed to have over 900 MBS after their upgrade. I actually get around 113.
Still, they're very conscientious about remembering to put the price up each year !
I usually finish around 5 or 6pm, once all the e-mails stop.
My employer had already extended work from home until January 4th. I fully expect that to be changed to March or April before long.Now that the government's winter plan B includes advising people to work from home again, some companies may hold off from arranging for everyone to return to the office until next Spring.
Is it back to the office by mandate or are you being given the option? Several of our offices have been "optional RTO" for a few months now, but everyone has the option to WFH until at least the beginning of January.It looks like I will be allowed back into the office at the end of this month, although with the requirement face masks are worn at all times on site, and two lateral flow tests are taken every week.
It is expected that staff will return onsite at least two days a week, those that don't want to should discuss this with their line manager. Staff who can't work remotely are expected to return all or the majority of the time. There are three online health and safety training activities that people need to complete before returning.Is it back to the office by mandate or are you being given the option?

Congrats!Feeling a bit smug at the moment because we just won a quite prestigious industry award for the first time, despite the team not having been in the same room as each other for the best part of a year.
Agreed. For some businesses/teams it really doesn't bring much benefit. The key is making sure the lines of communication are open and well used.If that doesn't demonstrate that dragging everyone to the office every day isn't necessary, then nothing will.

I 100% agree. Much better if those attending in person just log in individually from their own desks.The worst things are "hybrid meetings" where some people are physically present, and others who are online often can't hear/see well enough what's going on in the room and tend to be forgotten by those who are there.
Most people who work in offices should be continuing to work from home in any case under the current guidance.This is ridiculous, people need to go back to work on Tuesday!
All office based workers should be working from home anyway at the moment.This is ridiculous, people need to go back to work on Tuesday!
Really? My employer hasn’t altered their guidelines so i am in next week (and I can work from home if needed).All office based workers should be working from home anyway at the moment.
My employer went back to special circumstances only / no more than 10% occupancy which is, I think, a bit closer to what the government intended.Really? My employer hasn’t altered their guidelines so i am in next week (and I can work from home if needed).

Is this true in England? I didn't think that was the case. Regardless of "guidance," I think you'll find increasing numbers of employers outside the public sector wanting bums on seats.All office based workers should be working from home anyway at the moment
Yes, it has been the case since 13 December. Not sure of the review date but I don't think it is in the next two weeks.Is this true in England? I didn't think that was the case.

Not if their employer insists they go into the office. The work from home guidance is just that - guidance.All office based workers should be working from home anyway at the moment.
