Offering people the chance to work from home is fine, but requiring them to is a change in contract.
If agreed that’s fine, if not it’s the same as every other contractual change.
Can be changed, but needs negotiation, usually with unions if they are recognised in the workplace.
Struggle to see direct discrimination from your example, as it needs to relate to a protected characteristic, but at a push you might argue it discriminated against age as younger people would be more likely to living with others like parents or in smaller shared flats etc...seems tenuous though and unlikely to fly I don’t think (if you could prove a particular background lived in worse accommodation maybe, but doubt it would carry either)

Most contracts now (Ours do) include a clause say we can require you to work from any other location with an x mile radius or from your home when required.

If you have a computer and internet I dont see what the added costs of working from home are.

I've worked from home 5 days a week for over 2 years now, spend a bit extra on heating during the cold months, but spend a lot less of food and snacks. My commute was by bike anyway so no money saved there, but the time I get to spend with my kids far outweighs anything else in life. There will be virtually every company going looking at exiting as many properties as possible, and if pushed, most companies would/could jump at the chance of subsidising home workers, the savings by getting out of properties will be massive.

“I’m enjoying it,” he said. “I’m relishing it. I’m not going home at night thinking we’ve got no chance. I’m going home at night with a real belief and a hunger that this group of players are fighting. We’re doing all we can to get the job done.

FFS. He is enjoying it. He is the only bastard who is.

Working from home I dont miss the office politics but I do miss the camaraderie.
I used to stay in bed as late as possible before setting off for work in the morning but now, I dont set the alarm. When I wake up I walk down stairs, have breakfast, get a shower and start work whether it's 5 am or 9 am.
I have a self contained office but my wife and two dogs are never far away and quite often come in to see me.

Not saying I saw this coming but I suspect many thought City were fragile enough as a unit to potentially struggle if the goal threat of Bowen and Turbo where ever sold. It’s still in our hands of course but looking at the fixtures left our remaining two home games simply have to be won.
 
Great idea.. A fish n chip shop with a barbers combined. Haddock n chips, whilst waiting for a Chrissie Waddle. Anyone got the number for Dragons Den?

And to put 'this bad' into context, here's the form table from the last 16 matches:

You must log in or register to see images


It must be near to, if not, an all time record for being ****!
BTW,
Wigan are 3rd with 30 points
Luton are 10th with 23 points
Barnsley are 14th with 21 points
Gulp.
Logic says we will finish bottom.
Here's hoping for a major turnaround in these last 4 matches. It's the hope .....
