Interesting situation - expecting people to leave because we are going back to the office and they donāt want to commute. Today someone quits because they like the commute so much they are going to drive lorries.
I have given up trying to understand people - they are all mental
This all Iām going to be doing from end September.
Am also planning to move my āhomeā office from central London to a new one weāre opening thatās a 40min journey (in total there and back), rather spending about +3hrs a day, 5 days a week pre-lockdown.
Much greener to, better CO2 footprint, less cost ⦠not having to put up with the inane ābanterā ⦠its why I left an office environment and worked form home home from 2018. Some might think I have become less tolerant and antisocial as a result but who gives a fuck what those cunts think. Tossers.
Just like me!! I fully endorse that frame of mind, by the way. Iām slightly further down the road in that my colleagues actually know that i am an intolerant, antisocial, miserable cunt. Maybe if they fucked up less and spent less time dicking around, i wouldnāt be.
As revenue is down this year, it is unlikely there will be an works Xmas party again this year, which is great in my book. The last one (2019) was organised for a Saturday, FFS. I was the only objector and my plea of āI see enough of you cunts during the week, i donāt want to have to see you on a fucking weekend as wellā went down like a rattlesnake in a tombola. Needless to say no-one wanted to sit next to me!!
Fun has been mandated for my company in Bristol next Friday.
It was due to be just before Freedumb day so got canceled. That one was going to be on a Thursday with travel back on the Friday which I just about agreed with.
Iām buggered if Iām travelling across the country with a stinking hangover in my own time on the Saturday, so have booked a client meeting on the Friday instead.
Yeah, fuck that! I just canāt be arsed with it anymore and even less so after this shitty pandemic. I used to love it when i was younger. We had some ace doās, like being taken to Newbury Races on a freebie with a massive night in Reading afterwards, titty bars. nightclubs, stay at a hotel, the works - all paid for by the subbies. Iād get back about midday on Saturday and go straight to the game. The Duchess said she didnāt mind but she must have.
Completely different now. Apart from no-one having any money, itās all a āworthyā shite now. No getting ragged on a bender these days, itās all about giving up your free time to put up shelves in a scout hut for a photo opportunity for some other cunt, followed by a āveganā brunch, or some other old wank.
So i donāt know if itās me or itās whatās deemed āfunā now, but it can go and fuck itself.
First world problems!
Itās a difficult one. Situation currently at the wifeās work.
One of her colleagues has worked from home for the last year, and done her job very well. She has a son with severe health issues. Sheās being told she has to return to work, but she wants to ensure that people are double jabbed to reduce her risk of taking anything back home, and kill her son.
If I was her boss and she had done her job very well⦠would continue to work from home. Keeping good staff is essential and that will help with retention and loyalty .
