The measures we implement to protect workers from respiratory diseases do not have to become permanent features of the workplace. The wearing of masks, the installation of temporary partitions, and mandatory work-from-home orders (when possible) can all be implemented upon initial reports of a potential pandemic, and relaxed when the danger is passed.
Also, while it is valuable for workers to be able to telecommute, and while it may be necessary for all of them to work from home during an emergency, that does not imply that a “remote” workforce of far-flung employees is better than a team that comes together in-person on a regular basis.
I could not agree more. This so-called Pandemic and it’s overreaction will impact the culture of our relationships which is part of America. Obviously that’s someone’s goal and it will be accomplished with fear.
How many 9/11s does it take for you to call it a pandemic? Because, right now, we have surpassed 27 of them in terms of the death toll. If you think it’s no big deal, why don’t you volunteer at your local ICU? A lot of those people on vents haven’t had their hands shook in quite some time. By all means, go shake as many hands as you can.
This whole “open space” office environment is really terrible. I don’t think I could be productive at all in that type of environment, especially if it’s a job that requires a lot of phone use. It’s constant distraction from having people all around you, all the time. I work much better with some private workspace, where my desk is my desk and I’m not having to share with a bunch of other people.
Its ok everyone. Q says this is all false, the virus should be refused as it will control our minds, Trump is researching virus ONLY because he is playing the media for fools, all reported deaths are fake and videos of hospitals are staged by paid actors (note: the same ones that did Vegas, Columbine, and other mass shooting events),

I like the less expensive and less sophisticated solution of taping boundaries on the floor.
Does anyone remember Les Nessman’s “office” on WKRP?
less showering required if distancing practiced………

My company surveyed its remotely-working team members: only 9 of 69 want to return to 100% working in the office. I am one of the 9. [Sad face.]
