I can see odd overlap between Brexshiters and people who would like to turn the clock back.
Dyson are attempting to make their workers work in a dangerous environment and in direct contradiction to the government guidelines and potentially in breach of the law… Say it ain’t so.
Of course they will face no repercussions for this action
Seriously, would you expect anything else from a company that’s got such a cunty reputation?
We should build a ball, put him in it, and have you played Rocket League?
“Dyson is asking select groups to continue attending our campuses for practical, confidentiality and security reasons”
My company works on projects for nuclear power stations and naval subs but we’re still encouraged to work from home. Vacuums aren’t exactly top secret.
Mr Dyson is infamous in the engineering world for being one of the biggest tossers imaginable, and almost insufferable as a boss. Not surprised their approach to COVID reflects that
Dyson can go fuck themselves. Will never, ever purchase anything of theirs ever again.
Is this the same Mr Dyson that relocated all the way to Singapore?
Everyone feverishly working on how to make the on/off switch only last 12 months and a day.
My employer (automotive manufacturer) is doing the same for Engineering, Procurement, Cost Estimation and Finance. All of which can function either entirely from home, or (in the case of Engineering) on skeleton crew. I don’t blame them so much as I blame the instruction from the Government. “Work from home where possible but if you have to go into the office you can” might as well have been “fuck it, it’s up to employers”. Obviously employers are going to have people in where possible. Dyson is a cunt, the company is nightmare to work for, the products are shit, and the attitude of the industry of “bums on seats = working” is archaic and outdated, but Government advice has warped to suit this mentality at the expense of public health so as not to upset businesses. This is just a symptom of poor leadership again, and Dyson shouldn’t be the focus here.
Yeah this place is crazy toxic to work at

Assume Dyson went long on London commercial property and is worrying about the future……
I don’t believe any part of the UK has WFH enshrined in law right now. It’s always been ‘guidance’.
We bought a Dyson vacuum and it was awful. So not really any reason to go to work for those folks.
It’s amazing to see how fast Dyson’s reputation has fallen over the years. Twenty years ago, owning a Dyson was a point of pride for many, as they were top of the line vacuums with innovative technology. Everyone raves about Shark and Miele these days, even Henry is better than Dyson. His own personal reputation is going down the drain with his products.
Well what do you expect, he’s a rabid Brexiteer. Causing harm to the UK is basically their MO.
No wonder Dyson is world beating and is able to out performed Hoover.
My company is doing the same. Courier company with yellow vans. Profit before life eh.
It should be pointed out that before the pandemic Dyson actually had a really solid working from home policy, which they canned *during* the pandemic because James found out about it for the first time and decided to scrap it. I won’t put the blame entirely on him, he gets enabled by a lot of shitty upper managers, but he is an awful leader.

>Dyson is asking select groups to continue attending our campuses for practical, confidentiality and security reasons
It should *also* be pointed out that this select group was pretty much the entirety of the engineering team, most managers, and anyone even associated with upcoming or new release products. Its hardly a select group.
This is disappointing news. It is important that everyone follows the guidance from the government in order to help prevent the spread of COVID-19.
Ok I just read all this and Dyson is f*cking cancelled.
Yeah, it’s shit, but at the end of the day it’s not illegal since WFH is only guidance and isn’t law. It should be law with exceptions for certain types of jobs and industries.
Honestly fuck Dyson. I went to Miele and have never looked back. Shark are pretty good too. GTech seem fine as well.
Because once again the government used bullshit language of “do it if you can” not “you must work from home”
It leaves it up to the greedy bosses to decide, and they dont care about the plebs that work for them or their lives.
