And I get two hours more time to do non-work stuff because I'm not sat in a car. --- End quote --- Oh, this is a really sore spot with me. Up here in Canada, Trudeau's decided to give people a $400 no questions asked tax credit for working from home. This is a $400 credit for people who have to go on a long, perilous journey to the kitchen table to flip open a work from home laptop when they're already massively ahead saving their commute costs. Meanwhile, and fall disclosure I fall into this camp, all the essential services workers, all the so-called front-line heroes we've been hearing so much blah blah blah about how wonderful they are for the last year, who have no choice but to go to work at work actually get nothing. It's totally perverse and ass backwards. |

@25 CPS do you realise just how much home commuters are suffering? Now they have to get their OWN lattes! Often from their OWN coffee machine. Pour it into their OWN cup. And then wipe the steamy pipe thing with their OWN dirty piece of bacteria infested cloth. Yes Canada, people are suffering. Meanwhile the British have gone into 'Liquid Lockdown'. Webcam meetings are an ever lasting office party. Maybe that workplace monitor should include an alcohol breath test? |

mmm great way to spread viruses, force people to come into the office. 'boss we just don't have the same synergy on video chat, we need to sit huddled together in the board room' why do I see that cartoon still being factual if 30% of the world population got killed by a disease? i always liked George Romeros 'land of the dead'. its kind of about a city run by dilberts boss |
