23 April 2022 19:05376506An efficient government needs to be supported by civil servants at their desks, working hard; alas, it seems that many are still at home - and may or may not be working hard. Anyway, full marks go to the Minister of State Jacob Rees-Mogg who, having noted the empty desks, has had some cards made up:
The only slight snagette is that JRM has been leaving his cards on the, er, empty desks, rather than mailing them to the civil servants at home. So much for an Eton education, I guess.Jan Higgins and Reginald Barrington like this(Not my real name.) - 23 April 2022 21:14376508Hope someone does the same for the House of Commons......

I know someone who has been running one of the big five banks from her back bedroom through the pandemic and has been into the 'office' fewer than half a dozen times.Ross Miller likes this"The world is still a weird place, despite my efforts to make clear and perfect sense of it".

Two of my grandsons no longer have to work in an office since the covid lockdowns and have proved computers and video links are all they need. One is in charge of an insurance claim department and even participated in some virtual court judgements, the other's work is medical based. As an aside both changed jobs since Christmas and both prefer to work from home and only have to visit their 'base' every couple of months.-----------------------------------------------------------------------
I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.
