Civil Service Flexitime

Which for now is most of us.

Flexi leave has been cancelled for obvious reasons. Flexi time is still there. Core hours still exist but once you are working up to the minimum required hours then happy days.

I'd be more than happy to lose flexi leave permanently in lieu of 100 per cent wfh.

But keeping flexi working hours would be a must.

Its like I am talking to myself!

We're in the office 5 days a week and our CEO as good as said that we are unable to do our work from home so we'll continue to be in the office 5 days a week. We are able to work up flexitime though. Just one of the perks of the job of being forced to be in the office 5 days a week.

I feel a little bit sorry for the good people like the poster above me. It's always the few bad eggs that ruin it for everybody else.

I used to it in my office. The bosses go home and the same crew spending the next hour sitting in the canteen building up flexi.

I'm WFH and would happy give it up. It was just handy for appointments with the kids which are now holidays.

i've worked in the office all through covid and i can tell you it's the weaker and less productive staff who are screaming to work from home, the difference is incredible.

You'd have to assume its a scheduling issue. If everyone condenses their weekly hours into less days there will be less people available to cover all the days. So it depends if you are covering something, or producing some output. If you are not measuring productivity, then being present and clock watching is the poor quality alternative.

it's just what i've witnessed in my office i'm not saying it's nationwide, but for sure the working from homers are getting off lightly workwise, and get moaned about by the people coming into the office. I guess reduced rates of pay could be offered to wfm fulltime.

I'm more productive at home than in the office with my stats monitored as they always were but with no distractions

I'm at 11.30 and anything above that gets lost. I manage my day very carefully

Not in the CS but if it anything like my place you can see the general erosion of Job benefits.

No (or very limited) WFH but limited flextime

Covid so WFH but no flextime, but flexible working (hours)

Gradual withdraw of flexible hours

Gradual withdrawal of WFH

End result no WFH, Flexitime, or flexible hours. No timeframe for reinstatement.

May not be deliberate, but you end up worse off, ultimately. So then other jobs which you might not have considered previous because of less working benefits like flextime or WFH. Are now much more attractive, you might even gain these benefits back somewhere else.
