  • Hi all,

    I'm actually working from Stockholm at the moment - not the brightest of views but a view all the same

    Whilst it is social media, it is also largely anonymous social media. Whilst what you say in the widest sense, is true; in this context it is at best humourless and at worst irrelevant. Neither does the poster's credibility any favours.

    It's anonymous until one of your colleagues spots it. Then not only are you potentially breaking employer rules, you're opening yourself up to everything you've ever posted being linked back to you.

    People should not be encouraging this, and I hope the forum team are not contemplating putting this in the newsletter.

    Sounds like you're not far from MSE Towers?!
    Bloomsbury - so less than a mile NE of you.
    I need to think of something new here...

    "Posting photographs of your workplace with comments (or without them) is a wildly foolish thing to do."

    It's out the window so it's not a picture of where you work (unless in super rare instances like mine where you work inside an office inside another building)

    And if that is the case, you just ask first :)

    Sorted!

    That really does sound stunning!


    Indeed it is..well in daylight hours,but when it gets dark and the Deer start Barking..it sounds like what you would imagine Zombies to sound like.

    To put it into prospective 30 acres of land with all manner of buildings that have not been used for two decades,place is like an apocalyptic film set in places.:j

    My last view was a couple of cars and some woods, with some occasional planes flying into Manchester Airport.

    My backyard, as I have a working from home contract. I've not quite got as far as setting up the laptop in the garden (because I'd never get any work done) but it's very tempting in the summer.
    My alternative office aka Skoda generally has a fine view of assorted car parks.
    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.
  • I hotdesk in a very big room so have various views, very few of them involving any kind of window at all. When I can see out of a window it's a walkway, then the side of the adjoining building I can see

    This brings me back!

    My office looked out over a courtyard with a wall at the back facing me on the street side, if you can picture that.

    Well it was the most hilarious thing, as the pigeons and various other birds used to gather on top of the wall and FORNICATE for our amusement. God how I laughed when having a meeting in my room, and the inevitable would happen.

    Good memories of that place.

    I work from home. View to my left is of the fence between myself and our neighbour. View to the front, through our sunroom is out across the garden to the bottom fence.

    I too get treated to lots of flapping and birdy activity on top of the bottom fence. However ours are classy - collared doves - as well as the woodpigeons trying to get a wing over.
