Soph and I had a WTAF moment this week. At the launch of our workspace provider client’s second building, a guy told us he couldn’t see a problem with the Mail on Sunday’s story about Angela Rayner trying to distract the PM by crossing and uncrossing her legs.
Sensing our disgust, he followed up with his approval of Jacob Rees-Mogg (the pompous, privileged prat) leaving cards on civil servants’ desks in an effort to stop them working from home. For two years, Rees-Mogg and his boss ordered workers to stay at home. Now, he’s treating them like butlers, at his disposal at the click of his fingers.
What surprised us was that the guy was young. I expect he thinks D&I stands for ‘drunk and incapable’.
At work we’re a bit bored TBH. We want something exciting to get our teeth into. Retail is still screwed, industrial still booming and offices, well, they’re not looking great. WFH is still all the rage. We laughed when we saw the PR offensive from that soulless office district Canary Wharf saying it wants the next phase to be about “greening” the estate and for it to be a place for paddle-boarding and swimming.
Call me one of Rees-Mogg’s absent civil servants, but I think I’d rather be WFH in the shires, and paddle-boarding and swimming in a local river or lake.
