Rumours the clown will be resigning in 2021. It has come from Cummings' father, however. Probably one of Dom's dead cats for people to talk about while he trashes another government department.

Wouldn't make much difference. The knacker is about as visible as Lord Lucan.
Within minutes his first few words are a lie with no basis in fact. He stated that the vast majority of the country was returning to work, when asked what evidence they had none was forthcoming. This government gets more like a Trump surrogate, they lie, avoid scrutiny and place their friends in places of power even if they are completely unsuitable for the post.

The man is a total idiot. His own government's measures for social distancing already prevent a mass return to work. We usually have 9 in our office. The social distancing measures in place only allow 3 at any one time. We've all been advised to keep working from home.
I'm afraid the service industry game is up. Why spend excess time and money going to somewhere you don't need to be when you can just log in from home and be just as efficient? The economy will need to adapt to this shift in working. Industries come and go. Overpriced city centre sandwich shops and office lets are not exempt. Nobody gave a toss about the demise of heavy industry. Why should we give a toss about Pret a Manger?
Have you noticed the people championing a return to the office? They all fall into the category of preaching the values of office work from villas in Marbella or superyachts in Sardinia. Screw 'em!

I started working from home in 2017 and I’m fortunate enough to have a home office. I do feel for the younger ones working on dining room tables in shared flats - understandably, at lot of them are a bit keener to be back in the office.
If the commute does disappear for a lot of people, it’ll be interesting to see if core hours creep up in those industries.

I was listening to the former owner of Pret on Radio 4 saying that Civil Servants should be sent back to the office because Government need to be at the forefront of supporting town centres. I'm all for showing willing etc, but I work in a huge Civil Service building in a major city centre, and at great expense they completely renovated it to exclusively operate as a hotdesking environment. It enabled them to fit more people in and rationalise the estate. However, with Covid no one has a clue how to turn it into a safe environment for staff to return. I haven't been in the place since March and I see no route to me going back in the medium term.

No10 staff desperately searching the Downing Street freezers for their boss-man. The nation is awaiting for him to tell us how is going to single-handedly and heroically save Xmas.

This is embarrassing - its a joke
Your job is to say to yourself on a job interview does the hiring manager likes me or not. If you aren't a particular manager's cup of tea, you haven't failed -- you've dodged a bullet.
