For those of you who are retired, worked from home before the plandemic, or never worked from home because you are an ER nurse or something like that, please relate what your spouse, adult child, brother-in-law, etc. has told you about their return to the office experience this week.

People where the S.O. works had to return to the office this past week. It was so bad that he hasn’t been able to talk about it yet. He will tell me when he is ready.

A number of people were allowed to continue to work from home, but there was no rhyme or reason as to which people, other than the people who whined the loudest were allowed to stay home. Those who are back at the office are complaining about the fairness of why the person who used to sit in the cubicle next to them is still home. They have a point.

He is in security and wasn’t asked his opinion about the security concerns involved with allowing certain people in certain capacities to work from home. If he had been asked, he could have discussed why, security-wise, certain categories of employees versus others should or should not work from home.

I would think there is a security concern with having so many employees feel as if people who are allowed to work from home are getting special treatment. There is no telling what they might do as their resentment builds.

It was delayed again. So many snow flakes still feel “unsafe” that the office open date was moved to August 2nd. This was the third time the return to work was delayed. Free vaccines were offered to those who would come back to the office.

Our VP of HR is a spineless coward who gives in to a few emails from the Biden voters who will always feel unsafe. But these same people were going out to restaurants, shopping, etc.

Before I retired in January, the boss told us around Oct/Nov that people wouldn’t all go back to being in the offices till a vaccine was available, and boss estimated it to be midyear.

Last month, per a neighbor that still works there, people aren’t all back in the offices yet, and he wasn’t sure about people needing to have had their shots.

If they didn’t quarantine WELL PEOPLE....this would have been over a year ago.

Nothing has changed for me except my hours have gotten longer because there is about 25% less of us. I drive a city transit bus and deemed essential.

I worked every scheduled day and some overtime days all through this plandemic. I have not taken one sick day for the last year and a half.

In our area, no one stayed home during the initial two weeks. It was business as usual, including essential nail salons, this entire time.
