Managers taking steps to prevent their employees from contracting a disease that will prevent them from working for weeks or months is 'trendy?'
A workplace that's shut down for weeks because of a SARS-CoV-2 outbreak is a workplace that's not making any money. Taking all reasonable steps to minimize employee exposure to infectious diseases just makes good business sense.
- neverartful 6y agoGood points! In this case, it has nothing to do with cool and/or trendy, but what is sensible in the circumstances. Still, there might be some companies who pick a certain route just to keep up with Joneses.
- TrainedMonkey 6y agoWell done, you destroyed that strawman. I totally agree with working from home to minimize employee exposure to infection diseases. Not for profit, but because not getting a potentially debilitating disease at work is a reasonable expectation. Trendy thing that I referenced was everyone declaring that working form home in new norm and offices are a thing of the past.
