I knew this day would arrive. I just received instruction from my boss to start WFO one day per week. I guess it's better than loosing the job to a FT that's allowed to WFH overseas.

My boss suddenly put on hold my WFO plan. I guess you also know why.

Yes, have heard some have started to go into brake mode or reverse gear over the weekend...

My boss actually wanted to put my team to be on a hybrid mode but suddenly our global HQ pulled the plug across all businesses on the upgrades...want to WFH or WFO also cannot decide...have to go by one week at a time liao😅

4G leadership style ... decision is made week by week?

Think bosses want to decide on WFO but covid situation no good and gahment advise WFH if can do so. So bosses just give instruction week by week, so that give liao (wfh) easy to take back later la.

Too bad most staff cannot be trusted and have no self discipline, so how can bosses see open on WFH arrangement le?! 😅 So better all WFO.

Even some staff WFO also can have no self discipline lo. Go long hour lunch without feeling paiseh, chit chat during working hours non stop or always MIA to smoke break or toilet break. 😓

With the safe distancing violation now at jail term n 10000 fined, you think your boss wants to risk ego n say “u better come to office if you know what’s good for u “meh?

Go by deliverables not clock time.. like month end closing if cannot get done.. there’s hell to pay. 
 

but I’d everything goes smoothly, why even bother to do time keeping

Company just announced world wide office WFH extend till end Sep. Except production and warehouses staff.

Originally was end  June.  

Since last year Mar, I had WFH for 15 months already.

Need to continue to think what to eat for lunch at home everyday.

Yeah, that's the terrible thing for us foot-soldiers and up to junior/mid management.

No concession or postponing at all.

Agreed. I was very lucky when my boss was reluctant to back me up when I requested for an extension of deadline for a project but his counterpart from another department was willing to take the hit for me...now he's my boss's boss 😁

Suitable time for a bump.........

First day schools are WfH, it's 9am and the foggers have started already........ What could possibly go wrong? 🤨

Only hope SAF shut-the-f-up long enough today to get some work done 🙄

[Ody_2004]

Fast Hand fast Leg as i see situation not going improve in a short time..

Wow, 27"

Yeah, I bought a whole new set-up in March and just yesterday a new full mesh chair that will be delivered next week - my current chair is already 12-13yrs old so the spongy bits are no longer spongy so the next two months would be tough on the bottom 😁

Wish MoE had been as prepared........ my son, and my colleague's son each having issues with SLS crashing and unable to download work.
