As Penny Dreadful observed it may be time to leave the planet, or at least hope fervently that this level of madness won’t spread (fat chance of that). For in the week that our safety elves say that it wasn’t them, and that in fact could people please stop using them as an excuse to do stupid nannying shit for insurance reasons. On the opposite side of the world the courts down under have decided that if you work from home and slip on your own stairs whilst wondering around in your socks that it’s your employers fault and they’ll have to give you lots of money.
As the article so rightly observes this is probably going to rather put people off letting people work from home, which should cause consternation amongst those telling everyone to work from home to save the planet. Mind if I was an employer I would be wondering about the wisdom of employing someone who can’t walk down their own stairs safely.
