How are you spending your bank holiday?

I’m working! But it seems half the company are not. Everything is eerily quiet today…

I just noticed we have officially hit 1,250 employees. A nice round number. And 2.83million customers. Not so round. But almost 3 million. And 4mill by the end of the year?

I’ve enjoyed a nice day off. I’ve used no holiday time at work and this is a much needed chill day!

Staggering!

And 1250! How many of those are working from the London office? Envisage another office move or still plenty of space?

Are you planning to take a big chunk of holiday time towards the end of the year?

I only have a handful of paid days left unfortunately, I had a long trip to the US already this year that used up a sizable chunk of it!

That’s a good question! We have a Slack channel called #office-london (as well as #office-world, #office-cardiff and #office-vegas) and that channel has about 600 people in it. Although, anyone can join any public channel. I’m in all of the above :joy:

I would guess maybe 400-500 in the London office.

And yeah, we are rapidly running out of space there so I wouldn’t imagine we’ll be in that space much longer :grimacing:

My holiday time runs until March so I haven’t decided yet, it runs from your birthday month to avoid everyone taking the left over holiday at the end of the year.

I do want to plan a trip somewhere, but I travel alone which is a bit of a pain.

That’s a lot of staff! Thanks for the insight - perhaps another office somewhere else… #office-manchester :grinning:

I hear Southampton is good… down by Town Quay :wink:

But haven’t you got a three year lease on that place :thinking:At this rate you’re going to turn into a landlord, with all the subletting - or has the lease on your old place expired now?

I’ve gone crazy this Bank Holiday weekend, must be the heat… I changed my car, from a Skoda Yeti 4x4 to a Skoda Octavia Vrs 4x4 Estate, gone Full Monzo (on a Whim) and following my reading on the Monzo community about cheaper energy, I’ve switched to Bulb… I’m exhausted and need a holiday… Buahhhaahhaaaa
