Default What happens when your staff all work from home...

My mrs works at O2 HQ in Slough and this wednesday they had a work from home day for as many staff to check VPN connectivity in anticipation of 2012 Olympics disruption.

This is what happend when everyone was out:

They were very well-behaved, weren't they? Effing buncha lightweights! Shoe prints on the desks and couches are hardly effective. I would have a fruit fight with their monitors, gone onto their system to clear my O2 bill forever, and made some silly calls abroad from their landline phones to run some serious bills for them. I would have even had a cup of tea in their HQ kitchen, and a wee in their toilet FFS! I wouldn't have flushed the toilet, though. O2 have overcharged me on a good few occasions. The thought alone of turning their HQ upside down and burning a tiny hole or two in their holdall is highly satisfying.

Is this some vain attempt at o2 to look trendy via a PR stunt? I can't really work out the point.

How many times do you reckon you could manage that? I suppose it depends how many of the birds were fit anyway!
