I speak English just fine, but I don't get what you're really asking either. Why would someone get additional benefits for WFH? It doesn't make sense to me. Is it that there are benefits that can only be used on site, and as a result the business is compensating for the loss of access to them?
 
Company policy was against WFH before lockdown. This means they don't have a leg to stand on when we request to WFH post-lockdown since we haven't shown any reduction in productivity when WFH.
 
I never knew energy poverty was such a big thing in the UK working class population. I've seen it mentioned many times in WFH threads. Does anyone really watch their meter like a hawk for every extra few pence?

Yes for example in my case I don't have a free gym to go to anymore, nor do I actually use my bike to go to work BUT it still comes out of my salary every month in some shape or form.

Does that make sense?

I'm guessing it's mainly people with those key meter things you have to top up rather than have a bill, if you're skint then you're stuffed basically.

Yeah gonna be worse off in winter for sure.
I have saved on washing! :D



I've got everything I need.
But would have loved to have had my monitor (use my personal one) bought for me. Obviously my choice as I don't want some cheap tat.

An elec contribution would be great. But I went for a high usage (low unit cost high standing charge) provider and bill has actually been reasonable

Yep, makes sense. I think a few people are having trouble with that point, and I agree it isn't unreasonable to expect a business to make alternative benefits available in these circumstances.

I had a rental with one of those.
Never seen one before or even knew they existed!
I felt a right roughian going down to corner shop to get my 'leccy'. "10 on the leccy and 15 on the gas geezer"
Had to wear trackie bottoms to fit in.

Took 6 months to get it changed as my old elec supplier (npower useless company) hadn't closed my account properly! So was clashing on my credit report. Took ages to figure out!

Worst was when it ran out in shower and had to go down in winter with a town outside and get the emergency overdraft going!

So what have you been given to compenasate for that loss?

I'm not sure why you'd be compensated for the bike though as surely you still own the bike, whether you use it for work or not.
 
I get an early finish on Friday, relaxed daily hours, no commute other than the 20m walk up the garden, much cheaper to eat at home rather than trying to find somewhere with only an hour, I can stay in bed an hour longer and I tend to finish by 1630.

I've got it pretty good at the moment even if the workload has increased (not the most difficult job in the world anyway).

Our electric/gas/water use has increased though by about £15 a month.

A brand new MacBook Pro, an iMac top of the range, brand new iPhone, two weeks 5* holiday anywhere you like chosen destination, 2 months extra off, double pay rise for 3 months, brand new 250k home and a top of the range ferrari delivered in 24 hours from ordering.

how does that sound?

I think that’s Gibbo’s benefits
 
Oh no can't go to the gym, cos they're all shut - perhaps they should pay for a home gym for you?

I think I'd be grateful I still had a job

Perspective needed me thinks
