The best and worst parts
Working from home, it has its ups and downs. Whether that be a conference call in the kitchen while teaching your kids, or answering emails from the comfort of your bed. Everyone has their own way of dealing with it. Three weeks on from office lockdown we asked our staff to come up with what they thought were the best and worst parts of working from home. The results were varied, from some questionable perks to some entertaining dilemmas, here’s what we found.

What do we like?
He likes...
Colin, SalesNot having to make myself all beautiful for meetings!
Multitasking...
Flutra, FinanceI can eat, watch TV and work at the same time!
Oh...
Karen, Client CareNothing, I hate it!
The best bit?
Kam, SalesNO travel, as soon as I log-off I am home!
Sounds good...
Martin, PayrollThe view from the window is better and I can listen to rock music all day!
Aww...
Russell, FinanceSeeing my baby boy when I need a break.
Efficient...
Joli, Client CareBeing within the same walking distance from the kettle and the toilet.
The little things...
Paul, MarketingDrinking superior tea!
'Lovely weather'...
Josh, MarketingNot having to make small-talk while waiting for the kettle to boil!
Too efficient?!
Steve, PayrollThe thing I most like about working from home is ease of access to the kettle. It’s very efficient.
The thing I least like about working from home is working while brewing coffee. It’s too efficient.
What don’t we like?
What do you do?
Josh, MarketingTrying to explain to family what I actually do for a living (apparently all I do is swear under my breath and colour things in).
Social contact...
Tom, FinanceLack of daily conversation.
Lonely...
Ben, Client CareNot having anyone to talk to (distract), so it can be quite lonely! Luckily I have the radio keeping me sane!
Not the only one..
Colin, SalesThe snacking… I’m going to be double the size by the time the lock down is lifted.
Same four walls...
Karen, Client CareThe thing I least like about working from home is working on a laptop, being in the same space all the time from when I get up to when I go to bed. The fact that my house is busy with adults all doing fun things and I can’t because I’m working.
