Folk "working from home".

We are a very low productivity nation as it is.

The amount of fuckers who treat Monday as a day to ease into the week and Friday as the start of the weekend. 

Many folk who "work from home" are even worse.

Bloke in street spends more time on his exercise bike in the garage than actually working. The country's going to rat shit!!

Rant over.

Lol.

Utter nonsense

Is it?, don't give a fuck if you agree or disagree. 

Worked hard until 55, retired and glad I did, given the increasingly snowflake society we have become.

Always laugh at older generations bemoaning the younger people they essentially raised and set the conditions for.

Always laugh at younger generations living to standards that the older generations certainly didn't set the conditions for.

Funny that because a few posts ago you seemed a little exercised. Glad you’ve perked up.

Seriously, congrats on the retirement at 55. That’s good stuff.

What did you do before you retired, serve bitter?

Spying on folk riding a bike in their garage.

Guy I know works from home, for the Cooncil.

Yet the idiot posts his runs on Strava every day, during when, presumably, he is supposed to be working 

I presume he is just diligent at getting his work done.....

They certainly did, though. 
 

Why do you give a fuck about folk working from home if you're retired, anyway? 
 

Have you ever thought the "low productivity" is partly a result of folk dragging themselves to a miserable office every day, 8 hours a day, 5 days a week? 
 

Is there any evidence that WFH is decreasing productivity? Or is it just that you've got a Victorian view on how work should be and if people don't have to be miserable like you clearly are, then they aren't working hard enough? 
 

It's genuinely folk like you who make this country what it is. 

[CCB III]

The answer is simple, everyone; 

 

Just. Work. Hard.

You need to get a new job min. This one you're in will be the end of you.

You're telling me. 
 

I honestly don't know what job I'd even like to do. 27 this month and no idea on a career. 
 

It makes me physically sick to think of another 4 decades of doing things I despise like 70% of the time. 
 

Need to find a way out, you're right.

[manboobs109]

Two of my mate's WFH and fucking hate it.

I think the idea of it is better than the reality tbh.

Seriously min don't end up like me ffs. 45 and looking for a job, still no fucking idea what I want to do.

Genuinely have you not thought about social work or youth work?

If folk can work remotely to do their job, & the work is getting done, does it matter? 

Seems pointless asking folk to waste time fucking about with a commute if they don’t need to. 

[Guest milne_afc]

Has anyone considered a big one off event, enough to pay for early retirement? Like a drug deal or a heist of some kind?

I have. Was looking at premises for growing for a while. Bottled it though, probably do it when my mum dies.

It'll be legal by then anyway 👍

Yeah, I got in to do Social Work at RGU. 
 

Was living in Dundee at the time and didn't want to move back home, but aye, need to buck my ideas up. 
 

Waiting on some sort of eureka moment that isn't likely to come.

Its the knock on effect though - if working from home you sit in yer ain hoose, all day, eating out of your fridge - if at workplace you will generally be out buying a coffee, a sarnie etc for lunch, maybe a pint, pop to the shops to buy that latest bit of "must have", all adding up to cash going round and keeping other people employed.

And there is also the social aspect of having to deal with folk, in real life, eye to eye -social interaction is good for the health of the population - look at the rise of mental illness/insecurity since covid lockdowns and WFH became a real thing.

Its funny that more people seem to be drifting back to the workplace now that utility bills have risen sharply - let the work pay for the heating / electricity for the day - and the toilet rolls.

I work from home. Have done since the start of the flying monkey virus. They just never bothered getting us back to the office. I can go in if I want, just choose not to. 

You are right though @BaaBaaRedSheep I would say I do less on a Monday as I'm easing in and less on a Friday as I'm winding down. I'm on a call right now at 3pm on a Friday afternoon whilst posting on AFC Chat and having a beer. 

But Tuesday to Thursday I would say I make up for it. Always check the laptop at 6am when I get up and reply to emails before I go for my morning run and then take the dog out. Always start work properly at 8.30am at the latest and never really take a lunch break. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday this week I was in meetings until 7pm and on Wednesday was working until 9pm. 

Needs discipline, which I definitely lack on a Monday and Friday though. But I think most people are the same as they are the days I have hardly any meetings and get hardly any emails. 

[Poodler]

Fuck knocking your pan in for any company (unless you’re self employed). I rarely get into third gear, stuff that can wait just gets left, zero commitment to the cause. 
 

rather just enjoy life. Won’t be buying a house anytime soon cos the boomers fucked it all for us so just spend the wonga on bloody good times

You seem like you're bang into your ideologies anyway. Not taking the piss but you should look into becoming a councillor.

You'd be a hit if you picked the right campaign. 

Couple of good terms and you'd be on the big hitter wages.

You'd obviously have to give up posting on here which is good for everyone else as well as your own mental health. Everyone's a winner.

Also you can do other jobs at the same time as being a councillor to top up the wages.

Free coffee and pancakes at various fund raising events. It's a bloody goldmine.
