Traffic back in a big way this morning. Great to see. (Notwithstanding the environmental impact).

A lot of the big four have regional offices anyways so they could just grow those. A hub and spoke model.
I’m pretty sure I saw KPMG are starting a new office development but I can’t remember how many they are hoping to accommodate in it.
@Tim_Riggins is 100% on the training aspect and from my own experience most of those trainees are actually keen to get into the office.
Also a lot of partners & clients are happy for the bulk of audit work to be done remotely too where possible as it cuts down massively on expenses.
I’ve the school run done.
Wordle solved.
90 minutes of productive work in 60.
Started the Joe Rogan Peterson podcast.
Porridge ate.
Some TFKing
I’ll have a shower now and a coffee and tip into the office at 11 listening to more Rogan. I’ll skip a useless 1pm zoom call and go to the gym.
If I was in office for 9 I’d still be chatting to people or ambling down for a coffee now.
Own the morning. Own the day.

The training aspect is huge everywhere, managing a new recruit at the moment and it would be a lot easier in the office.

you just cant train people over webex/zoom/teams
Part of it there hasn’t been software specifically built for onboarding of new recruits/training under the wfh paradigm. What’s there is what was used in conjunction with a manager in the office.
Shur, my missus took a job with microsoft, one of the supposed big tech companies, and went the first full week without hearing from someone.
Software solutions specific will start coming online to bridge some, not all, gaps.
That seems mad alright. Software wouldn’t change anything for me, a lot of instruction and small correction and guidance needed with a new recruit. A lot easier to do all that in person.

You would. I don’t know what they’re teaching them in college these days.
I’d say Glas is a very hard taskmaster
A perfectionist I’d say.
So if you are ambitious work in office. Not ambitious work at home.
You couldn’t be promoting a lad you’ve never seen in the flesh. You’d have no idea if he’d be able to use the right cutlery at a dinner.
I once had a wankhammer ask me in an interview what was my ‘visibility’ like …

Imagine being assigned some latchico like @Thomas_Brady and trying to keep an eye on him working from home.

A pedantic little fucker I’d say
I take it you didn’t get the job?
I’d say he’d fire the tea back at the trainee if there was too much milk in it
