:covid_19: 😷 šŸ„ Corona Virus the thread for all your fears ā“

Interesting situation - expecting people to leave because we are going back to the office and they don’t 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

I’m back in the office 1-2 days per week. If they wanted me back full-time I’d quit.

However, my CEO lives being in the office, and wouldn’t work somewhere where he couldn’t go to the office.

This all I’m going to be doing from end September.

Am also planning to move my ā€œhomeā€ office from central London to a new one we’re opening that’s 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 ā€˜banter’ … 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.

My commute has gone up a bit since being in Chertsey, but it’s still very doable for 2 days per week.

You’re just a miserable cunt.

Just like me!! I fully endorse that frame of mind, by the way. I’m 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 wouldn’t 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 ā€œI see enough of you cunts during the week, i don’t 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!!

The seems to be quite a few of us on here :joy:

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.

I’m buggered if I’m 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 can’t 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 do’s, 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. I’d get back about midday on Saturday and go straight to the game. The Duchess said she didn’t mind but she must have.
Completely different now. Apart from no-one having any money, it’s all a ā€œworthyā€ shite now. No getting ragged on a bender these days, it’s 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 ā€œveganā€ brunch, or some other old wank.
So i don’t know if it’s me or it’s what’s deemed ā€œfunā€ now, but it can go and fuck itself.
First world problems! :grinning:

Wow, didn’t expect that to happen in the US…

It is going to happen everywhere - wait until the first lawsuit lands because an employer allowed a non-vaccinated employee on site

The ā€œtoo stressed to commuteā€ tribunals are already happening here

Test Valley now has 1014 up by 274 from last week…increased cases have doubled. WTF!

1,262 active cases in Poole, up by 290 from last week…

The daily incidences on the Zoe app are based upon data from 21st July - I was wondering why they were claiming 60K cases a day

It’s a difficult one. Situation currently at the wife’s 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. She’s 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.

What do you do?

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 .

That assumes the boss has wisdom.
Not always the case unfortunately.
