It was forced on me by my employer as they closed the offices. I wasn't given a choice. They've since "grabbed the opportunity" to save money by letting the lease on the office expire, so now I'm stuck as a homeworker whether I like it or not Is it a better easier lifestyle? In some ways yes, and other ways no. I don't miss a wasted hour commuting every day, I don't miss saving that money on fuel and I do appreciate the boost to my mental health that it gives me to have that 5 hours a week and extra cash to spend with my family. But the flipside is that it can get a bit lonely never seeing anyone face to face (I do spend hours on video and team calls though) - and I do work longer hours because I'm bad at logging off when it's at home. And I don't particularly enjoy the additional stress put on us all to perform and prove that we can still be a valued employee in the new world Free lunch? Do you think we should all spend our lives in miserable servitude, and be grateful to have a job no matter how awful the conditions are?

Looks like locking everyone in their homes has had a serious impact on immune systems. Whoever could have predicted something like that...well other than the medical professionals that were regularly shouted down... The alternative view, of course, is that last year, people were encouraged to wear face masks, which just might have resulted in people who may have been suffering from influenza not spraying their snot and sputum in the direction of anyone within their proximity, therefore resulting a lower airborne viral load. Now, it's a rarity to see anyone wearing a mask, even on a bus. Archied 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think we should all spend our lives in miserable servitude, and be grateful to have a job no matter how awful the conditions are? But didn’t you tell me before that you were happy to go along with work from home without question ( I’m sure influenced by it being better for you) which then gave your employer the ability to close places of work which would have very much concerned you if done without the cover of covid ? so so many people have gone along with so so much WITHOUT QUESTION and worse than that demonised and ridiculed anyone taking a wider view who dared to question scotch eggs , jab after jab for everyone including children , children locked in homes , family members left to die alone , the elderly left alone and confused in care homes s ( check it out ,it’s still going on in many many homes)great white elephant schemes and contracts , damage of lock up v benefit ect ect ect I could make a massive list of stuff that anyone thinking half sensibly could and should have been questioning Edited December 1, 2022 by Archied Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1of4 Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 China giving up on their struggle to control covid cases and will fully reopen their borders to visiters Is there a possibility for a new strain of the virus to spread around the world. Some countries already announcing restrictions on people arriving from China. UK officials state there are no plans to check people arriving from China. Good to see the government are keeping a tight control of our borders Crewton and Gee SCREAMER !! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crewton Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 99% of businesses survived the lockdowns, unemployment is lower than before the pandemic (according to the Government anyway), so why are the lockdown sceptics so worried about the prospects of a repeat? ?? Fear not though, overflowing A&E and ICU departments are just what the Government wants in order to force the Nurses and Paramedics to end strike action and also show the NHS "isn't working". There won't be further lockdowns because it doesn't suit their agenda. Norman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

i-Ram Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 The NHS has been failing since the 70/80s. Time long overdue to get rid of a whole raft of time serving middle management who do bugger all, and hire and pay better the frontline staff with the savings made.
