Anyone else secretly hope that the coronavirus will be bad enough that you don't have to travel for a few weeks and can work in your PJs? Any firms ended client travel yet?

FWIW op I didn’t think your post came across like you were wishing poor health on others. There’s a difference between it being “bad enough” in the Sense that’s Folks are reacting to a POTENTIAL threat and enacting extreme precautionary measures by enforcing work from home mandates and it being “bad” in the sense of people’s lives are at risk. I also kinda hope my office gets panicky and can work from home for a bit until the hype come down; but that in no way means I wish the virus or any other health issues on anyone.

Were on the same page. If people are acting cautious all over the world wrenching supply chains and driving the market down, I don’t feel shame in cherishing a few wfh days. All this is happening even if not a single additional diagnosis is confirmed.

This got way out of hand. Of course I dont want anyone to die or be harmed. I was making a joke that was clearly off color. As for a new job, I enjoy the one I have but have been on 100% travel for the past 7 months and wouldn't mind a week or two remote. But in more seriousness, I an curious in how different firms are responding.

Anyone other staff feel like the biggest contributor to stress during busy season isn’t the workload. It’s the lack of support or help while you’re just thrown into the deep end not knowing how to swim? In-charges, especially the newly promoted ones are either hit or miss or they’re way too busy with their own work. I almost feel like I’m ready to quit because no job is worth the mental health sacrifice.
