    Stay away from office for 2 weeks - timely advice

    Client has just asked all staff to work remote where possible.

    Whereas I am used to WFH 1 day a week, doing it full time for more than a few days is a different ballgame.

    Useful advice here provided in a humorous way https://mobile.twitter.com/ken_niimu...57554555367425

        yes, though my case is slightly different, as I commute weekly from London to Belgium they have asked me to stay remote completely for 2 weeks and local staff come in on alternate days.

        And today's news is that everyone - staff and contractors - have been put on 3.5 days/week.

            That was humourous? Seemed a bit preachy to me.

                Well my client has done the same......

                Not so sure. Mrs is off sick with dodgy knee (hopefully op next week) and it cant be too long before kids are off. MIL normally spends 2-3 nights a week (to help with childcare).

                They're going to do my chunk in.....

                    He phones them and asks them if they've tried unplugging and plugging in again the USB thingy.
