Working from home. Is this a desirable lifestyle?

a condition called WFH Bladder which is incontinence that can be caused because you can visit your own loo anytime you like, so the pelvic floor muscles that you usually use when you are working outside to hold in the pee until breaktime get weak

Failing to go to the loo when you need to is extremely bad for your bladder and bowels. I always took loo breaks when I needed them - even in a call center. Sometimes I had to push back against a manager who wanted me to take a call. I said "not unless you want me to pee on th floor".

As you get older and (sometimes) have to go more often WFH is one of the good things. You know there is a loo within a few steps. That doesnt mean I jump up mid sentence because I feel the urge to go.

Why would you ‘spend money on coffees’? clearly you don’t need to do this. It’s hardly a work-related expense!

People often spend money on things they don't 'need'. Are you really surprised by this?

I see that Met Police workers are striking because they have been told to work from their offices for much more of the time.

it would not be for me. The joy of my job is that I always worked as part of a team- team work and exchanges of ideas, mutual support, have been one of the best aspects of my professional life.
