In my 20 odd year career I have rarely worked from home. I’m a little old fashioned and prefer to walk round the room and talk to people as things need doing. We did do a test about 3 weeks ago and it went fine, which is good as we were told not to come back in last Sunday night.
There’s about 90 people in the London office so the network has not been particularly stretched. I do miss talking to people and already hate Slack. I do find a few things a little less efficient as I have missed a few prices when trying to deal on behalf of a client. It hasn’t helped that the markets I work in have gone a little thin in the last week.
We are trying to exchange on the house, move out and relocate at the moment. There is a small chance that the schools being shut will make this a bit more efficient and, possibly, cheaper.
