If there is a future riot, would someone kindly pick me up an air fryer please
Another thing I've thought about it investing in some decent power banks that I can charge up at work and take home to charge any usb devices. I'm going to get some good value from the workplace electricity haha.
I think I'll just not put the heating on at all we've stocked up with blankets on top of the ones we already had, I've ordered them base layers from decathlon.
Ordered lots of thermal socks and thermal slippers for everyone today too. On top of that I can just make something cold for my meals at home and I will do all my cooking at work as I have alternate shifts. The workplace canteen is free electricity and I work 12 hour shifts so can cook the majority of my meals there. That's bound to save me a fortune.

As sad as it is to say, these are the lifestyle changes a lot of people will need to make. If your work has showers then it'd save you money over showering at home.
They can always offer some pay rises so their staff don’t need to do such things.And while using company facilities to cook meals for home may be borderline if done whilst you are also cooking for work as part of your duties, I am sure loading powerbanks at work for home use is theft.
As also is @chrcoluk little scams.

I work for a firm contracted by the council,They can always offer some pay rises so their staff don’t need to do such things.
We all know who were talking about, the ones making decent profit. Our company did and we are only a small family firm. Didn’t need to ask for it either.Why? So it is the companies responsibility when they also are exposed to high energy charges and not making more profits to pay staff more?
Many will but not all business owners are zillionaires. Let's get the man eh.

If you work for a company that considers charging your phone to be theft, then I’d suggest you get the hell out of there.We even used to have people doing their ironing at work on break for a few years LOL... will depend a lot on the workplace some even charging your phone up a few percent would be considered theft, where I work is fairly liberal unless you were say charging a 50ah battery or something for personal use.
Exactly that was the point.Like I say decent companies look after their staff.

They could turn the hot water offour place i think would be on a sticky wicket if they stopped people showering at work..... part of their green transport policy is encouraging people to cycle in where possible... they were under a lot of pressure to get car use down when asking planning permission to expand.
i cant imagine it would go down well at all if you had sweaty muddy cyclists going into the office not having had a shower. i suppose they could limit to cyclists only but that would be impossible to police really and also would be a bit discriminatory.
I never understood that mentality either.They could turn the hot water off
We could see companies back tracking on their insistence for people to return to the office if costs keep increasing. They might be glad to get people back home if it saves them a bit of money. Employees might not be so keen this time though.

I joined GO without a EV, I told them I had no EV just battery and solar. that was Sep 2021.for the record and not taking sides..... only very recently did octopus start insisting on ev ownership for Go and Go Faster. it was always a product designed for EV car owners but anyone was allowed to join
