• I get that from a disaster recovery perspective but it makes less sense from a people not passing on the virus to fellow humans perspective. Those in the office aren't separated, only those wfh so wouldn't you want the isolation period to be closer to the amount of time it takes the virus to manifest?

    Anyway, just speculating - I would have though that if a firm can operate with staff wfh then why bother with anyone being in the office? Of my team we could all work from home indefinitely without any degredation of performance (probably the opposite). They will probably still go with the week shifts option because... well, who knows.

  • WFH is also tricky for lots of people even if their jobs allow it.

    We have a load of grads in at the moment and they're in shared houses as they, funnily enough, can't afford their own place in London.

    Many are having to sit on their beds to do work and conference calls as the prime spots (kitchen table or lounge) have already been taken by their housemates.

  • I was going to say, currently I can work from home if needed, but half a year ago the situation would have been a lot more difficult and just assuming everyone has a useful desk setup at home is just not based on an up-to-date assessment of the average Londoner's living situation...

    Same thing I'm facing, living with 2 teachers the whole WFH thing could get very interesting...
