Some employees would work hard at home, and some would take the piss. But you can't allow those you think would work fine to do it, and then say no to others because you know they are going to take the piss. Which basically comes down to "we don't know how to evaluate our staff's performance". If the work gets done, it shouldn't matter if they're in the office, at home, or on the beach with cocktails and a barbecue on the go. If they're not performing, discipline and dismiss them. Hours spent in the office seem to be considered all the evidence needed of doing the job in some places I've worked, which is just crazy.

Stevo985 Posted March 27, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted March 27, 2017 Depends on the company. At JLR I got to work from home a lot, which was brilliant. At the new place it just doesn't happen apart from very extenuating circumstances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ingram85 Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 (edited) Tbh, the rules are quite clearly in jest, my only dead certs are no tomato ketchup or butter on a bacon sarnie and the bread MUST be dipped into the frying pan after cooking. Oh and no ketchup with chips. Basically I **** hate tomato ketchup. I'd inwardly hate you for putting butter on a bacon sarnie but ultimately I wouldn't want to smash your face into the **** plate either.

Designer1 Posted March 27, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted March 27, 2017 (edited) I do wonder how much of it is regional too. All the time I lived with my mom and dad we never had anything other than brown sauce on a bacon/sausage sandwich, and for the life of me I can never, ever remember going into a cafe / greasy spoon in the Black Country area and being served a bacon sarnie with butter on it. As Ingram says, just a quick dip of the bread in the frying pan and a splash or brown sauce and you're good to go.

Wainy316 Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 I was dismayed when I saw Walter White spread mayo on his sandwich instead of butter. I honestly didn't think a sandwich without butter was a thing, but then I came to accept that Americans are weird. But now this. No butter on a bacon sandwich?! What the hell is this nonsense!?

Popular Post dAVe80 Posted March 27, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted March 27, 2017 (edited) What about a chip butty? Some chip shops in the North East will automatically do you a chip butty, without butter unless you ask for it, and vice versa. Personally, I don't know how you can eat a dry chip butty? Half the fun of a chip butty, is shaving the melted butter drip down your arm. If it ain't got butter on it, then that isn't even a butty! That's a chip sandwich. Which is a waste of everyone's time.

Yep, chip butty needs to have lots of butter. You've just reminded me, they used to do chip butties at the Villa, I used to love them. Maybe they still do them elsewhere in the ground, I don't know. Choice seems very limited in the Upper Holte. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post BOF Posted March 27, 2017 Moderator Popular Post Share Posted March 27, 2017 You butter your bread. It's as simple as that. You're a cave-dwelling savage if you don't. I'm trying to think of scenarios where you don't butter your bread here and the nearest I can come is if you're dipping it in soup, and even then it's better buttered. Some of you. Honestly. Tut tut. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah pretty much this. If you don't butter your bread for certain sandwiches then that's fine.

Shockingly, butter doesn't get a look-in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I already work half-remotely when I'm at the office anyway. I can do one day, maybe two days at home before I'm bored. I like being in the office most of the time, we have a laugh. The occasional day from home is good as well though... especially if I have a few errands to run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
