Bit sad really, we are being moved offices today.
Currently sat 5 minutues walk from the middle of town, on a big campus holding thousands, good onsite facilities, gym etc. Worked here for 15 years!
They are moving us 5 miles out of town, to a site that holds 300, and obviously the facilities to match.
A lot of little downsides, like cant go into town every lunch for shopping, or something to eat etc, will be stuck out on a business park with nothing for miles.
As for travelling, it is only .3 of a mile difference for me, but its putting a lot of people out big sytle who use public transport.
Ahh well, least its a job.

8-) Change can be good too.....in three months you`ll be wondering why it hadn`t happened sooner! ;)
....on the up side; you`ll soon be cruising to work in that burgundy-beauty! :y

I know the feeling, last place I worked at was in the middle of nowhere, lunch time you didn't feel like you were taking a break.

Yes, its a much more modern building, better aircon etc
There is a lake I can walk round at lunch, but I like going up town daily, pop into wilko's for something, buy a nice lunch, sort upcoming birthdays etc. Gonna make some things a lot more awkward.
I often use the onsite gym before work, that may not be possible now.

As an old irish man once said to me many years ago when I was commenting on the 1920's building we were working in.
'Mark, I have been an engineer for a very long time and I will tell you this, if you ever move to a new building be very afraid'
and he was very right!

your not wrong, been the start of a slippery slope in your case :'(
We purpose build this new place about 10 years ago as a training centre, and its had various uses since.
On the bright side, they could have relocated me MUCH further away.
There is a possibility we will move back in a few years, but I suspect that is unlikely.

Chester is brilliant for a walk around on a hot summers lunchtime ;)
