    5 day is brutal, my friend in the city (London’s finance sector) has this and it’s therefore more restrictive than it ever was before covid.

    He has something like a day a month where he can elect in advance to WFH for specific reasons.

    It creates scenarios where a friend in the US drives 40 minutes just to swipe his card/ go have breakfast and then heads home again

      Out of curiosity as a foreigner, when you say “in the city” in London, does that mean London, or the City of London, or is it an “it depends” kinda situation?

      And I’m sure that you, being from the UK, know the difference already, but I’m leaving this explanation here in case someone else reading this ends up one of today’s lucky 10,000

        Yes sorry, I meant City of London I. E. the finance/banking area. But even then it’s not strictly correct as alot of that industry are ou at Canary Wharf.

        It is yes another silly situation the UK has got itself into!!!
