I went into the office for the 2nd time in 4 months this week. We have been split into two different teams, with a one week in, one week out rota. Although we are actively encouraged to stay at home if we can work from home. Going forward, when it’s my week to be ‘in’ I will probably go into the office for 2 of the 5 days available. The commute is 25 minutes and it’s good to actually see some colleagues, albeit at a social distance. Also good to be able to sort paperwork, printing etc out if needed.
Our CEO has started to plan for the next few weeks and suggested that the two team split can end soon, so that you can go into work on any week you like. Still with a work from home message though. Can’t fault my employer at all, they have been superb - flexible hours, provided all equipment needed, rolled out counselling sessions for anyone who needs it. Very fortunate to work for them at the moment.
