Really ****** off today, I work for an IT company and I'm booked out to do UAT testing all day today. I'm not talking to anyone else in the office, I'm not using the phone systems, I generally just don't need to be in the office, I could do it from home.
I got up 30 minutes early to ask the question, and was told no, with no reasoning whatsoever.
So I'm effectively wasting about an hour of my life and £5 of petrol so I can sit in a much less comfortable chair surrounded by miserable people.
The mind boggles... I don't think anyone at this company is capable of making logical or rational decisions... Meanwhile the managers seem to come and go as they please, and work from home whenever they feel like it...
