      Office for national statistics, people who collate and curate data for analysis by other administrative groups. Do you mean they need to buy boots meal deals because that will help them open up excel?

  Unnecessary RTO needs to be outlawed

    Define “necessary”.

      Surgeon. If you can’t do you job by computer fair enough. Otherwise it’s unnecessary.

      Before COVID: all of it. After COVID mostly jobs that require you to physically interact with stuff.

      I used to be allowed to WFH once a week. It’s been almost 3 years since I’ve been to the office and I no longer live on the same side of the ocean. Same company.

      Team building is very important.

      That’s why my employer strongly requests us to meet in person 2 times/year.

  Are they getting their work done?

  That’s the only real question, imho everything else is poor management

    It’s the ONS. Everything they do is reported on the news, no one needs to go see them.

  Managers aren’t trained in the field they manage.

  Incapable of understanding if they are getting value for the salaries they pay unless they have a webcam watching you.

    Yup. Its becoming progressively more common to have managers whose only skill is shouting and intimidation, no clue about the role that they manage.

  is this an office where the public can walk in and get direct service. if so then they should go in but if not then good for them. its better for the environment.

    It’s the Office For National Statistics. Not Work From Home For National Statistics.

      office /ô′fĭs, ŏf′ĭs/

      noun 3. A subdivision of a governmental department. “the US Patent Office.”

      turns out an office isn’t a building… who’d have thought… wait… everyone… everyone knows that and it’s easily found information

      also language is malleable

      also who cares what the word is; forcing people to do dumb shit because of a name is the dumbest shit ever

      British parliament should be in a house according to that logic.
