I don’t agree at all mate. Amongst my workforce I’d have people constantly coming to work with coughs and colds etc in the autumn / winter. I was never fan of heroic workers thinking they were doing the company a favour by spreading their germs. and would tell them to go home if they were really bad. But after this the tolerance level will be zero, the instruction will be don’t come in, irrespective of COVID, as that’s what colleagues and customers will expect imo. It’ll be a legacy of this, irrespective of the COVID virus itself imo.

Probably depends on the workplace and the type of work being done tbh.

Seems like, in London anyway, large numbers of office workers will continue working from home for a good while yet anyway.
 
We are in South Wales for a couple of days ... went to the local Tesco yesterday ... literally no ****er but the staff and me wearing masks and maintaining distance ... the girl that served me confessed "they're never really taken to wearing the masks, round here" <doh>

As a chap who has spent the last couple of months visiting an average of 4 companies per day i can confidently state that those back in work are treating everyone just as normal.

What’s that anecdote got to do with my actual post?

My brother in law from Bristol had a shock coming down for the weekend obviously things are different in England ........his paranoia was laughable...... No masks no this no that........ Fear is in his head.

Seemed like anxiety but it's his choice to listen to bollox

I've worked throughout but the benefits being I don't have the 2.5 hour round trip and I save £27 a week on traveling costs.

I've mentioned before on here, for some people it really is substantial savings, by being able to work from home, you can be looking at 5,000 or even more, saving per year. Your own savings are £1,404.00 per annum. In the higher saving bracket that I've mentioned, you could even be looking at reducing your hours by a day a week. I think this can benefit employer and employee, if they have the balls to continue with this new normal. Obviously there are some areas that will be negatively affected by this, generally the city centre rip off coffee shops. Hey I'm crying for them bruv.

I'm not a people person so this really suits me, I'm being told that I won't go back at all other than for the odd meeting so this should become permenant for me. I'd be gutted to go back now.

Yep. I'd guess less than 10% of people wearing masks when out shopping.

We’ve got the next big announcement about their plans for the office soon. Probably a 70-30 split between car and train/tube users and no chance they can open the office up enough for it to be distanced so I’m banking on them just letting us do what we want until next year.

I’ll do over half a tank of petrol commuting a week and must save £15 or so a week on coffee and lunch versus the ****e in the canteen/nearby.

But on the flipside there’s far less talent at home than in the office.

Celtic are launching an investigation after it emerged their defender Boli Bolingoli took a secret trip to Spain and failed to self-isolate on his return.

The Belgian player later came off the bench in Celtic's Scottish Premiership game against Kilmarnock on Sunday.


The Scottish government added Spain to the list of countries where returning travellers had to quarantine for 14 days following a decision that came into force on 26 July.
