    I’m hearing more of the “3 days a week but Mon and Fri don’t count”. You can’t make this shit up

      Like three days work from home? They’ll claim that people are using Monday and Friday to make long weekends for themselves.

      I still have the stupid words of an old manager, in reference to the start of covid when a department of two started working from home: “How will I know they’re getting work done?”

      How will you know? I dunno, because there are deadlines and the work is submitted electronically so you’ll be able to tell in the exact same way you always have? And if they’re doing what’s expected and even have extra time leftover then good for them!

        You’re right, I wasn’t clear but no - 3 days working from the office minimum but then they stipulate it can’t be a Friday!

          Can’t?! What a weird rule. It’s such a strange bit of overbearing control and also the opposite of what you’d expect from someone like that.
