Back To The Office Today After A Long Gap

So I have a new training batch that starts today. I have been working from home from mid-September once we closed out the temporary floor and then a training room that our 45 member process was using at the office. Our process was signed as a work from home process as it is a content moderation type job and there are no customer details or financial transactions or addresses etc that we work on and hence everyone can safely work from home.

Now unfortunately or I should say fortunately for me, due to a scheduling issue, I can only get a training room for my batch of 10 agents and newly promoted Team Manager in the evening slot which is 5:30 pm to 2:30 am. Now with my health issues I don’t want to go to the office in that shift. But I managed to get it agreed that I will go to the office today, set everything up for the 11 folks and get them their new laptops assigned for this process among others (they were internally moved from another process and were using clunky desktops till now). Then I will continue working from home for the rest of the week as the TM will be there to supervise the 10.

Next week another TM will be coming to the office for 3 weeks and I will continue to work from home. This is so that if there is any issue that they face with the client tool, which they will only use from next week, he can help them. Then from the 27th onwards the shift reverts back to a 12:30 pm to 9:30 pm and I and the TM will help the 11 with their on the job training for 2 weeks. Hopefully my stint back in the office will only last for 2 weeks. I am a little apprehensive going back to the office.

Arsenal Lose To 10 Men Manchester United On Penalties In The FA Cup

Joshua Zirkzee scored the winning penalty as a 10-man Manchester United beat Arsenal in a thrilling encounter to reach the fourth round of the FA Cup. United had to play with 10 men for nearly an hour after Diogo Dalot was shown a second yellow card, having mistimed a tackle on Arsenal midfielder Mikel Merino. Manchester United took the lead through an excellent Bruno Fernandes goal in the 52nd minute, after Alejandro Garnacho took advantage of a Gabriel slip and crossed for Fernandes to curl the ball into the top corner. Dalot was sent off in the 61st minute after his clumsy tackle and Arsenal were level just two minutes later when centre-back Gabriel volleyed in from inside the area.

The Gunners then had a massive chance to take the lead when Kai Havertz was adjudged to have been brought down by Harry Maguire in the box and referee Andrew Madley awarded a penalty. There was a delay in the spot-kick being taken after a melee in the box in which Maguire, Havertz and Gabriel were all booked. Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard then stepped up but Altay Bayindir dived to his left to push away the ball and keep the scores level. Mikel Arteta’s side had big chances through Declan Rice and Havertz again to win the game but could not beat the impressive Bayindir. United were made to defend throughout extra time as Arsenal looked for ways to take the lead with their numerical advantage.

But Arteta’s side could not find a way through and Havertz had his penalty saved by Bayindir before Zirkzee sent David Raya the wrong way to win the shootout. The result means Arsenal have exited the FA Cup in the third round for the third time in four seasons. This was Arsenal’s second of a run of five fixtures in a row at home this month. Mikel Arteta will have hoped he could build momentum during these games, but two home defeats in a row has done little to lift morale. It was almost the perfect start when Gabriel Martinelli slotted the ball past Bayindir in the first half, but the strike was ruled out for offside and seemingly set the tone for the match.
