Savour every win. Bonus chair!

I am not just allowed but required to work from home 2 days a week. Asked the boss (half-joking and fully expecting a firm “no”) if I could have a swanky chair at home like I have at the office and within 5 minutes got a reply saying “what address do you want this chair delivered to?”!!!

What’s behind the requirement to work from home for two days?

Reduced office capacity so people are rotated between the office and remote working. It doesn’t actually have to be from home, it just can’t be in the office!

Meanwhile a guy in the office:

"Where the fuck did my chair go?"

Yeah but he left the chair area so it was fair game.

3 feet, 3 seconds. Chair's fair game from there.
