My team at work officially voted to work from home today. Our corporate office has been WFH since earlier in the week, but we are in a building maintained by a different arm of the corporate machine, and that arm is unable to shut down (gotta keep filming those movies!) so the office remains open. However we were the only people on our floor there today, so it just sort made sense I guess.
The plus side is that it was the day they restock the snacks and since no one else was there I got a ton of free protein bars!
They still haven't decided to shut down our main office yet, despite all this concern...
...but they did just tell us that everyone on my team is now 100% remote until further notice. Might only be a week, might be for a few weeks, but-
Sleeping in later every morning and not having to deal with ATL highways on Mondays and Tuesdays
I don't understand companies talking about wfh like it's a 2-3 week thing. Or places like Disneyland shutting down for 15 days.
This thing isn't going to suddenly be gone in 3 weeks. I think realistically anything closing or companies doing wfh to make a difference it's going to have to continue for 6-12 months.
China's quarantine last 50 something days and they got their shit together a lot faster than the US is going to. No one has any idea how long this will last and some scientists have said it will die down some and possibly comeback again in the fall.
Anyone or anywhere that is thinking this is a simple 2 week ordeal is in for rough times.
