This was as close to a no-brainer as a business can get,&#8221; he says.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;Everybody at this company works in the office. We don&#8217;t actually have a work from home policy here. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;We&#8217;re a finance company, so we think it&#8217;s important and critical that everybody is in and communicating and working together in real time. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;So yeah, under normal circumstances, all 125 of them would be here in the office at 08:45 or 09:00 Monday morning. But that certainly won&#8217;t be the case this Monday.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Joshua says he and other senior managers will be staying up to watch the game, and says if he fancies a lie-in it&#8217;s only fair to extend that to the rest of the team.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;It&#8217;s good for morale,&#8221; he says, adding it will be worth it even if Monday isn&#8217;t a particularly productive day overall.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;Some things are more important than, you know, a day&#8217;s revenue,&#8221;
