Yes. We're allowed to work from home until the office is free of all temporary safeguards. So until they're fine having people elbow-to-elbow with no masks and no shields and no protection, I'm allowed to keep working-from-home, and I probably will. Restrictions won't be lifted until November anywhere in the world, probably won't be until January in Montreal.
- usrusr 6y agoOver here in Germany I've been ordered back to the office (open plan, what else) for at least two months now. It feels like decisionmakers are scrambling to get the biggest slice of "back to normal" they can legally get before the therefore inevitable second wave takes it away again. WFH played out pretty well (the teams I know are badly implemented partial remote under regular circumstance, so going uniformly remote was an instant improvement), so it's just "because reasons". I suspect that it's nothing more than C level being afraid of appearing weak in front of owners. Morale is low because it feels outright unethical when highly WFH-able offices are reopening while other businesses are still hemorrhaging money due to being forcibly closed. A community has a fixed transmission risk budget if it wants to keep the virus subdued and that allowable risk should be allocated on need, not based on first come first served.
