Have been working from home pretty much from end of March to now - it's an IT job where most of the work can be done remotely, but there are certain hardware tasks that do need some hands-on, so I've had the odd day back in the office in the past two months.
Now the company I work at (not actually my employer - I'm a third party there) has been pushing to get more of their staff back on-site for the last two months and the more of them who come in, the more likely it is that our team has to come in as well (or at least one of us) to support them. Week before last they moved to a 25% of staff rota to come in (the office layout had been re-organised to make it Covid "safe" back in July), so we started matching that and these upcoming days were mine to cover.
When Tuesday evening's announcement was made about working from home again, it took their HR a little time to react (mainly I think because they'd already started on plans to go up to 33% or even 50% rotas and didn't fancy undoing their work), but eventually they announced that they'd go back to the voluntary attendance at the office scheme that it had been previously. By then I'd already bought my train ticket for Thursday, plus I had a number of on-site jobs to do that I'd been storing up for my next visit, so thought that I'd go in regardless and wait and see what the workload was like before deciding about Fri, Mon, Tues.
But that's a moot point now - been told officially to work from home for the forseeable, so will be following orders! It does mean no more Santander Cycle rides through London in order to avoid the tube for the last part of my commute though.
