Ethics question:

About 2/3 of my work I can do from home, so I'm trying to only go into the office 3 days a week. I'm also on-call until 3pm. A lot of my time is spent waiting for requests, which I would normally do in the office, but if working from home I feel like I'm not really working? I feel weird counting those hours as work, when at home, but it's not like I'm actually working less than the 6-8 hours a week i would be waiting AT work - I'm just significantly more comfortable lol.

Y'all think I should count these hours or should I find (ie create) something to keep me busy? I have no idea why I'm not salaried,but I do report my own hours. Boss is super hands-off and doesn't make me break down what I do and when.

Oh and this is my first job where I'm even able to work from home.

I am salaried and I am working from home. I would suggest doing a project that clearly proves you were working. For instance, I'm working on a few "deep dive" analyses at the moment in my free time. The result is creating a baseline for costs that no one could produce before and saving money - both of which are visible and obvious. Also, if you can save the company money - record how much you saved them!

Also, time stamp everything if you can, because when it comes to a lot of businesses...it isn't a problem until it is, then it is a huge problem and people get let go. If you have never been through a recession before, know that it is very important to keep your nose clean right now. And I swear I'm not going to let her know all the pain I have known

No queueing in our Asda yesterday. 5-6 people tops in the shop. Also shelves nearly full except fresh meat. Not much of that around.

I really feel sorry for the staff. They are in the front line trying to keep busy and not to worry too much. I just hope they all pull through including my Sister who works in a Coop store. I worry about her so much. :( Comprehensive Account Security

Ours wasn't too bad. Everyone kept their distance too.

It amazes me how well everyone here maintains a queue. In the US there would have been several people trying to cut in. And probably with a sour attitude as well.

My mind was blown lol

You are absolutely right about how it is in the US. 24 hour stores are now only open from 7am to 10 PM and 7-8 is an hour for the elderly, immunocompromised and healthcare workers. It was apparently a shitshow and continues to be one.

Plus everyone is blaming everyone else when most people are literally just buying for 2 weeks per the recommendations. I am going to go tomorrow during the workday (moving my lunch hour), because I have not gone in 2 weeks and I hear that it is still a madhouse. And I swear I'm not going to let her know all the pain I have known
