The word “stop” doesn’t even appear in the article 🤦
Mondays are busier than they were in the city but still difficult to get face to face meetings. Friday is a complete write off for face time now, but I’m quite happy with that
Way before the pandemic I used to WFH two or three days a week, but I always chose Mondays and Fridays to go into the office.
Empty trains, nobody in the office to bother you, no pointless meetings to attend (the Tuesday to Thursday ones were all done with me by phone – and actually getting on with some work whilst people blathered on in the background). What was not to like.
Unpopular opinion – home working isn’t all that it’s cracked up to be.
“Patients told to be sick more often as NHS not being used enough.”
See how silly that sounds?
Reduced need for a public service is a good thing.
