Just got off an hour call with my dad and was a big fucking fight. He's bringing all our employees back to work (IN ORANGE COUNTY) on Monday.
The reason is because the system we've been using has been 2 people at the office like 30 feet apart doing in-house necessary stuff, while the other 2 people work from home because they have kids and stuff.
Well basically the 2 people working at the office have gotten in such a bad pissy mood because they think it's so unfair that they have to work real work while the other 2 at home are barely working and just hanging out at home. One of the 2 people at work is taking vacation time in 2 weeks leaving the other all alone and they claim they're overwhelmed and it's very unfair and the people at home need to work at the office.
Note we're paying hazard pay to the people at the office to try to balance that, but apparently the growing resentment between our employees has gotten too much so after one of the employees at work went off on my dad, he backed off and agreed to call the other 2 at home employees in starting monday.
We've put up plexiglass along everyone's stations on 3 of the 4 sides, kept every station at least 10 feet apart and implemented policies like masks required and disinfect shared areas like the copy machine and files, etc...
But I just feel no matter how much protection we put in place, bringing more and more people into the work environment who are out and about in their own lives and live with families who do the same is just making it a matter of time before covid goes around the office. And it's a family matter because my parents both work there and are in their 70s.
Anyhow I basically got told stfu and too bad and got a lot of flak because I'm not there since I'm working from home so I have no right to say anything because I have no idea of what the day to day is and don't participate in it. I get guilt tripped a lot because of stuff like that but it doesn't change my opinions.
So that's how I spent my evening.
I've already cut off my social friends because they're crazy and the day Disneyland is opening they've already been making reservations and meetup events for disneyland, california adventure, etc... they planned a vegas trip for August, etc...I just can't deal with interacting with them anymore and I don't want to fight them about their bad ideas so I've just cut them all off. So I'm back to having like 3 friends and my mom as my only social circle.
Maybe I'm overly paranoid, but it just seems like it makes sense that when things are getting worse and worse with Covid in my area that erring on the side of over-precaution is better.
idk I'm just so angry and unhappy and anxious. If we all make it through Covid I'll have to basically rebuild and repair a lot of my life.
