I'm working for a client and they would want me In the office but the project manager admitted if we want to stay from home that is up to us and within our rights unless everything is back to normal but normal won't be for at least another 15-18 months min which is when a vaccine is out and about.
    No they can't force you, but they can can you and get someone else in

      The Health and Safety Executive really should step in with clear rules and enforcement for what constitutes a safe workplace within the context of Covid 19.

        I'm in a higher risk group - I'd go in if I absolutely had to but quite happy being locked down to be honest. I was normally only doing two days in the office anyway. If I did have to go in it's a two hour commute using public transport so I'd probably drive in on the days I was needed.

        My contract is up end of July anyway.

          I was in the office last week to do my handover and hand back the laptop. The rules there were only 2 people allowed in an office and must be a minimum of 2m apart. There was no cafeteria although some cold snacks were available and all tea and coffee machines were out of bounds.
          Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

            I know that I will be fobbing off anyone that does not mention the remote part.
            I am not comfortable to leave it open ended, just for the sake of having people under sight and micro managing.

            I am 30 with no known conditions, never been to a hospital actually. But will never risk it for money.

              1. Too few hulls, so you can't get in to the shallow bays, you don't go as fast, and your rum slides off the table when you unfurl the spinnaker.
              2. No barbecue, no rear shower (or if there is, it's too close to the wheel)
              3. Cabin windows look frosted
              4. No fenders
              5. Far too heavily photoshopped.
              The CNB 66 has had my eye for sometime now. If I were planing on staying out on the water for lengthy periods of time, I might consider a multihull but I prefer feeling the control of a mono hull.

                In my experience of office vending machines, this can only be a good thing.

                  The OP was after the lockdown, not sure why HSE would want to get involved

                    IMO the lockdown is not going to suddenly 'end' and then workplaces will be 'safe'. The HSE should be responsible for setting and enforcing rules.

                      The question is more whether restrictions will last so long that companies have gotten used to people WFH and don't see the need to try and get everyone back in the office.
