Travel to a different work location

I mean, Iām getting paid if Iām traveling during working hours and doing no work in that time, which I obviously try to arrange every time.
Mine depends. If I have to be at the other campus for a 9am meeting my time isnāt accounted for (Just mileage) but if Iām going to a conference or something, Iāll travel during the work day.
Same.

Our contracts say no more than a day a week. But Iām doing this whole week from home as i b0rked my toe.
Mine says the same. Been into the office maybe half a dozen times in the last three or four months.
We donāt have an official policy really, but it seems to operate on a ādonāt take the pissā basis. However, my boss is in the States and the big boss is rarely in the office, so I do take the piss a bit tbqfh.
Iād either travel during work hours, or get the option to take time off instead. Iām usually training if I travel, which saps the olā energy so I donāt do much work the rest of the time. So it evens out. (Plus Iām expensing lunch and dinner and breakfast and ā¦)
Yeah. Could do it once a week or so if I wanted but tend to use it sparingly. Depends on your workplace - think itās a bad look in a lot of places if youāre a manager and youāre working from home excessively and your staff have to be in the office pretty much every day.
Going to talk to my boss literally tomorrow about being able to work from home more often (due to constant irritating noise in the office, see work irks thread passim).
Our guidelines were only introduced a couple of weeks ago actually. Generally in favour of remote working, but in my current place people were really taking the piss.
I am quite pleased that my work is on the same bus route as where I live so no changes and 40 minutes reading or listening to a podcast there and back (when I get the bus at 7.15 as opposed to 8.15 when the roads are considerably busier).
Ours has been a thing for a while - some managers are applying it strictlyā¦ One day a week, never the same day two weeks in a rowā¦ Others like mine couldnāt give a toss so long as work is being done.
Gonna have to adjust soon I think!
Our systems are so shit that we can only access e mail from home but nothing else. So WFH actually turns out to be a pain, though I still do it if I can.
Changes are the killer. Iād sooner get, say, a 75-minute train from outside my house than do, for example, a 45-minute walk/bus/tram/walk. The different legs of the journey confuse my weird brain.
I could get to work quicker by getting a different bus to the nearest Tube station. But I find changing to be irksome.
Work from home when Iām in Edinburgh. Donāt really do it in London, certainly not in the winter when it would involve having the heating on.
Generally of the view you should get some kind of compensation for wfh, particularly for lower level staff.
Yeah, this. My commute is an hour and a half door to door but itās just sitting on one train for an hour and seven minutes of that with a short journey at each end.
We get 1.5xhrs for Saturday travel and 2xhrs on Sunday for any weekend travel time. Just to increase the irk.
