Surely you didn't actually just go home and resume your working day from there? That's literally your boss handing you a get out of work free card.

It probably is different but thats not why I was asking, my interested in the idea that if you are allowed to work from home that the company actually has some stake in the state of your house. 

Nah. But they should be supplying equipment needed to do your job safely at home.

 

Generally speaking people working from

home are office workers so the risk of injury is low and the equipment would mainly be IT/DSE stuff, although we have had to arrange sit stand desks amongst other things at peoples houses because they had one at the office for bad backs etc.

 

May be different if you had welders/joiners/bricklayers working from home for example, but I doubt they would be very productive.

First thing I'd do is build a wall directly in front of my webcam.

Aye, my company got me a snazzy desk, and office chair, all the rests and guards and shit. When the heatwave was predicted an email went out almost immediately saying we could expense a desk fan (up to a reasonable amount).

Dickhead.

Point I'm making is I've a team to support. So should I just fucking leave them to it if I'm not in the same room as them? 

[Gemmill 44242]

Craig I don't know how to break this to you, but people FUCKING LOVE IT when their boss fucks off for a bit.

 

[Renton 21214]

Anyway, I'm about to put a jumper on here.

You're making the huge and, in true Gemmill style, wrong assumption that I work in the same building as them.

I once dared come in the office one morning and open the velux windows as I was in first.  It was c20 degrees in the morning.  A lad come in and shut them and then sent an email around saying it should be a majority decision

Hope you pointed out the same rules would need to apply for shutting them.

The gaffer agreed with him.  A few lads pointed out it was the middle of summer and by the mid morning with 40 blokes, PCs and sun it was reacing well over 30 degrees in the office.  We then found out this lad had a fucking foot heater on

If you didn't launch that out of the velux window, you missed a trick.

[wykikitoon 19859]

Honestly, he's a good mate and we ribbed the fuck out of him.  Yet the gaffers were on his side and it was fucking BAKING in that office at times.  They would buy boxes of ice pops some days to try and keep people cool.   Fucking backwards Yorkshire wankers.
