Wow. There are a lot more ******* out there than I thought. Sad.

IDK - if you're a company that's affiliated with O&G in any way, you're dealing with a financial crisis. The last thing any one of them needs is an outbreak at one of their facilities - especially if it's among cube- and office-dwellers who can work from home.

Some of you just can't help portraying yourselves as badasses. Are y'all that insecure that you have to always prove how right you are by yelling the loudest or demeaning those that have different opinions?

If these companies can maintain business with a percentage of people working from home, then there's no need to rush things.

You go do your thing and let other people worry about their's.

I think I posted on the thread about going back to the office, but our company announced Monday that starting this coming Monday they will be bringing 45 people back to the office every two weeks and will adjust that as needed or as circumstances allow. Priority is being determined by people who can't work from home or are having trouble for whatever the reason may be. We're pretty sure our department is pretty low on that list as we all are set up pretty well at home and wouldn't likely be at the top of any immediate return list regardless. Personally, I'm fine working from home. I'm not scared to go in or anything, but I don't miss the commute or the associated gas bill and my setup at home is at least as good as my office. They're also requiring masks right now and I'd rather not do that if I don't have to.

Think you will see a lot of companies not return until the fall due to the limited amount of day care option.

I'm not a badass. I'm just not a person who has bought into this over-hyped politically driven hoax. Companies slowly opening are doing so because they're afraid of any public backlash, not because they feel their employees are better off working from home. Sorry you're not able to see that.

I realize there's little to no chance your opinion gets changed from this post, but the reality that essentially every country in the world - communist, socialist, fascist, republic or otherwise - has reacted to this with a collective "oh ****" does somewhat argue against this being a domestic political hoax. Overhyped? Time will tell, but no question there's hyperbole and bull**** out of both sides of the entertainment news industry.

I think some companies (mine included) are playing it slow because they're realizing that WFH could be a viable option moving forward regardless of the pandemic conditions.

They're probably waiting to see how productivity does once other aspects of the economy get back and if it gets back and stays to pre-COVID levels then I think we'll see telecommuting become way more popular.

What countries? The ones who talk about us behind our back but are "Hi America!! We love you, America!!" at the first sign of trouble? Those? The ones who follow and don't lead? The truth is if a dem was in office, we wouldn't be where we are because the media wouldn't have fear hyped it to the extent they did. We overreacted due to false models and have destroyed the economy (their main goal) and countless lives because of it. We closed the country out of fear and are slowly opening it out of fear. We let the "experts" who have consistently been less accurate than the weatherman dictate every step of this, and most have willingly gone along with it. A lot of people gave it a chance, but they woke up when they realized the goal posts are constantly moving and watching videos of police raiding a bar who is just trying to support itself (Odessa), judges jail and fine a business owner who wants to support her employees and their families, and unemployment shoot through the roof with no end in sight. So yeah, my mind won't be changed. In this country, it is 100% about November.

And just like that this thread heads for the gutter once again.

Then quit reading it. Maybe OP can put a trigger warning on it for you since any discussion around Corona you don't like puts it in the gutter.

It's fine when it's actual discussion and not an argument. Or until you come along ranting and raving and throwing a fit about how right you are and how wrong everyone else is. We get it. You know everything and you're the expert.

There's no need to start an argument and pick a fight with everyone who disagrees with you. Save that for Forum 16.
