After 6mo of successful WFH protocol/productivity during this pandemic, Havas Edge Carlsbad had their agency deemed “essential workers” w/ two days back to work notice, no exceptions. Edge has already had a Covid case and SD county is back to high-risk “purple”. Protocols for testing/return to work were unintelligible at best , misleading at worst. Havas should be appalled given their national stance on safety of workers and embrace of teleworking as the future.

While I normally don’t love when people run to the media to blast a company without first trying to go through normal protocol — this is a situation where it is fully warranted. I’d blow this up to anyone who would listen. It’s disgusting.

Sounds like the back to work plan was not thought through and is going to be a failure. Also, giving such short notice is short- sighted. We’ve got lots of folks scattered across the US - and I’m confident we’ll get weeks of notice.

Wow. Did people quit in protest? Did people outside SD have to use PTO to travel back? How did they manage to get the essential worker tag?

Someone higher up has a friend at the county I think. Had us deemed essential as a “communications company” since we advertise health related products. We essentially just buy ad space and we’re doing that successful from home so....

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people.

I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
