I’m three weeks into WFH; it is proving an interesting experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bits of my routine are the same, bits of it are very different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As far as hours go, before the C-19 virus I was, averaging a spread of 95% to 105% of my working week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But now I’m working on C-19 projects and my average spread of working hours\/week is 125% to 140%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I spend on average 40% of my day on Teams VCs\/calls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I haven’t committed any major visual errors yet, but did inadvertently give a few people a brief flash of my bathrobe this afternoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The dogs come and go, crashing through the dog flap at huge speed, so I tend to spend much of the day upstairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My reflexes get tested when one of the dogs jumps onto the bed and tries to walk across the keyboard, especially if I’m on a call.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Today is a Bank Holiday in India; yet I’ve been on calls with a number of offshore colleagues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This week and next are supposed to be four-day weeks; Good Friday followed by Easter Monday; there is a possibility I might put in a couple of hours on both Bank Holidays. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
What will be interesting, in the longer term, is whether employers embrace a post-virus shift away from working in those big, expensive offices, and allow a distributed workforce to carry on working from home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It will also be worth keeping an eye on employers who recognise that if their staff can work from home, then those jobs could be done in India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I’m looking at almost all of the Head Office functions of my former employer. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
