The company I contact for has 450 people on site regularly. This week, the boss sent out one of those emails saying that you can work from home, but do not have to and that no one should judge others choices. He also made it widely known that he would be in the office, door open in case anyone needed to see him.
At our all hands meeting Friday, only he and the receptionist working several floors below him were still in the office.
Ordinarily we are a pretty gung-ho culture. People come to work sick. People take half days even doing chemo. People work 10 hour days because “product needs polish”. Yet no one is willing to take the risk of catching the virus, then bringing it home to our families.
Maybe if this was earlier in the crisis, it would be different but it is too late to not panic.
- xbmcuser 7y agoWell if it no one else is there your boss now has no excuse to not be in as he can't catch the virus in and empty officr.

Otherwise, you’re all nuts. Even then, not actively discouraging sick people yo work from home or take time off when they share office space with people undergoing chemo is reckless.
