rodders0223 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Severe lack of new posts on what pisses people off. Moaning and reading people moaning is the best part of my day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My last employer was big on 'presenteeism', and working from home was for upper management only, with a nod and a wink about them 'working' from home. The current lot are a breath of fresh air. Not in any meetings today, and don't want to go in to the office for any reason? Cool, work from home. In meetings, but have a reason you'd really quite like to work from home? Cool, it's 2017, just dial in. Have something happening tomorrow, and the project isn't literally on fire? Cool, have the day off, or start late/finish early, whatever you want. I'm a big fan of the hour and a half lunches so I can go to the gym, too. I've spoken to my 'boss' probably 4-5 times since Christmas. Our team manages itself, and we're all professionals that don't take the piss. **** love my job. My Mrs has a similar arrangement but she works from home full time now. They're freaking amazing employers. What that breeds is amazing employees. She never takes the piss with 'working at home'. Sure she can make appointments in the day provided she isn't due to have a video call, but she makes that time up twofold. Her colleagues are the same, they believe in what they do, they're trusted and their output is incredible. They do yearly 'retreats' that equate to a piss up that they're all paid to attend. It amazes me, if I worked from home I'd spend hours on VillaTalk and YouTube. My employer are meh, my conditions are OK but my managers are terrible human beings who have got where they are by bullying and lying. Its a ttpmeots. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostly, when it comes to work, I just post about all the awesome perks I get. As well as flexible working, good salaries, awesome healthcare and pensions, we also get a biannual big company event with away days and a couple of unofficial days off (in the summer it was a day out at Alton Towers then an open bar until 4am on the Friday morning, with free travel and hotels, quality!) . But this week, I've put in a 60 hour week because we launch for a new customer next week and shit's hit the fan. Pretty much everyone, without being asked, is all hands on deck, and breaking their back to make this launch a success. There's something magical about a company that actually gives a shit about their staff and rewards them fairly. If I had to deal with micromanagement and quibbling over expenses, I doubt I'd have put in half the effort I did this week. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 (edited) For many jobs (including mine), there's absolutely no need to be in the office, everything, and I mean everything, can be done remotely. On that basis it you shouldn't be expected to show up every day, unless you really have to. I despise being in the office 5 days a week, I feel a lot more tired when I have to get up early and commute into work, I then hate the commute home as it is nothing but dead time. Working from home makes me feel more refreshed and frees up more time to do things that I want to do. Presenteeism is the bane of British work places, most offices are full of words removed who just want to appear to be busy all the time.

You've just summed up what happens when an employer trusts their staff and treats them like adults. Yet some companies just don't get it. I moan about my job but my employers are very flexible with me and the remuneration is very decent for what I do. Plus the extras are good as well... i've got about £1m worth of life/critical illness/accident cover in place in total. I'm worth loads dead or crippled! The pension is good as well (they put 17% in at the top end) Edited September 22, 2017 by Xela 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rugeley Villa Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 I was fuming yesterday. Went for a quick pint after work next to the job we are on, and after having the decency to bang my boots before I went in, I ended up 4th in line to get a beer behind two of my work colleagues. Some random bloke orders his pint then walks off, then the bar man says 'who's next' the two Infront of me just kind of stood back and said nothing until I ended the awkward situation by ordering my beer. I said to my one work colleague ' are we just having the one' if we were then I would of just got my own, anyway he never even answered the question and just said I'll have a Stella. Obviously I've then got to ask the other lad if he wants one, and of course he did. Pints go down within 15 mins and it's off we go home. Best part of 10 bloody quid just for a quick beer. I wouldn't mind, but I can't stand the one lad. clearings in the woods. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I often go with a couple of blokes from work, one who drinks like a fish and one who is tighter than a duck's, and it gets very uneven. Just wish we'd pay for our own tbh.

Just be a man and order your ***** drink instead of holding back like a lamb on the Welsh hills. They won't get me again.
