Word of advice, you’re playing it very fast and loose with Mr. Mingo circling the waters. Would hate to see you get e-hurt.

I don’t. But I do know an internet tough guy when I see one, and Mingo is apparently nothing to be trifled with.

You just asked if doctors and nurses could work from home, the answer is yes. There are doctors and nurses that can work from home. I work with tons of nurses who work from home, not all nurses are floor nurses giving direct patient care.

Now you’ve definitely piqued Mr/Mrs/X Mingo’s interest.

This is such a shitty trend.

I heard of a firm in London doing this last year and now I find out it's going to happen to my team.

Basically, no one will be guaranteed a desk anymore. It will be a first come-frost serve basis every day. If you're late, you have to commute back home to work from home

Let's say you have a team of 10. The company will only provide 8 desks.

The assumption is that someone will always be gone for some reason or another. But that's a strong assumption

And you will obviously now have to bring all of your belongings home every night.

And God help you if you get stuck with a desk that was inhabited by a sick slob the previous day.

I strongly dislike working from home for most occasions so I detest this.


so you can potentially get to work from home multiple days a week? sounds like a win

What's a docking station? Wait, I don't wanna know. Sounds like something Aggie fans would do.

I would get their early enough to get a desk.. If I am running a few minutes behind and I think there is a chance I might not get a desk, I would just stay home.

And when you say all of your belongings, do you have more than what you can put in a laptop back (that also allows you to put paperwork, etc)?

Okay. I'm not ever coming in. Who's the other poor son of a bitch who has to work wearing PJs from the comfort of their own bed?

Pay him no mind, Central Tiger. He clearly lacks the gumption of sophisticated fellows like us.
