I have been working at home for the past 8 months straight. In the beginning it was very strange. Now I am just used to it. I wake up at 8, eat something and go to my own dedicated room where my office is now. For the first two hours I just work normal, then we have a coffee moment with everyone of the team. You can turn the webcam on or off, it’s totally up to you. After that we have a daily standup, where everyone talks if they need something and what they wil, do that day. At 12 we have a obligated hour break (30 min own time, 30 min payed) in this hour I chat and eat lunch with my wife and we go for a walk. :) and then it is the final stretch till 4:30 when I am free and I ride bike, or I use the fitness equipment in the room I made for that. This works perfectly for me and I cannot image going back to the office

Haha I agree with you, in Holland some government workers even get money for making there own coffee and so at home ... people should just be happy with what they have. Lots of people don’t have a job now

@niccolom I understand that, I am not sure if I can keep my job for a long time more and I already feel blessed that I had income for so long as I just gratuated

Ήρθα για να γελάσω με εσένα just ignore him. That is why I don’t bother to respond further to. Some people are just born as simple souls.

@calyco9912 I am fully aware of that it is a luxury. But we’ll it is not all roses. I work really a lot 40 hours a week is standard. But I overwork a lot, I have to study to maintain my income and so in. My house rent is actually on the low side because it is a social rent. I pay around €700 rent a month, excluding water, gas, electricity health care and taxes. I find it sad to hear you struggle, some of my family struggles to. It is still strange to me that IT earns so much, way more then other work what is far more important such as elderly care or serving food in a restaurant.. If I can help you can always ask. 😊 and you can always study for computers he. Especially programming is highly sought after and there are lots of places to learn that.
