I've been working from home for 4 years for an investment firm in London. Until a 6 weeks ago I was travelling up from Bournemouth every other Thursday, but that stopped when this whole thing looked like it was starting to go sideways.
Quite pleased to have avoided being on the shitty train to Waterloo with all the other infected mongers, to be honest.
The office staff are all now 100% working from as well. We're a young company, so remote working is how it has always been.
Other than the obvious effects on our investment portfolios, I've not really seen any detrimental effects on our work.

Business psychology, and been a remote worker for the past 5 years. On the surface, not much has changed - but I head up all new product development and our short term focus has transitioned to products that allow assessment and recruitment activities to happen virtually. Also working on a behavioural assessment that helps businesses with the transition to a WFH model, which we'll give away for free...
This is the bubble though. If the lockdown conditions persist for more than 3-4 months, the work will dry up and we'll have to cut a bunch of folks from my team.

Is that similar to psychometric fingerprinting Vinny?
Apparently I've been recruited twice using this process. Never really understood what it meant though. Just looked it up and still don't haha.

It's definitely up a lot. Would be interesting to see what their subscription and user activity is like these days. Could be an age thing, but I know loads of people that have stopped using it. Maybe they're flooding it with adverts to get their big paychecks before it crashes Think the whole privacy thing really kicked them. Quite rightly. Now they own whatsapp and I'm thinking of binning that too Facebook revenues went up by $5bn yoy to $21bb in Q4 2019. So yeah, they’ve had a right bloody nose. |
