Decision at my agency being made in June with September being earliest return. They’ve said we’ll get 3 months notice so we can make any living arrangement changes. Also, received a questionnaire last week to provide our opinions on return to office. This all seems reasonable but am waiting to see what really happens.

This is pretty on brand for one of the worst big agencies in the world.

I guess the think I don’t understand is if the average round trip commute is 2 hours x 5 days a week - that likely means 10 less billable hours per week and having everyone back in the office also means greater costs like paper and electricity and air conditioning etc. why do you want less revenue snd more costs? I don’t get it. Why not only ask people to come in when. It is critical. And close down some of the real estate for good? That seems like the best business move.

Vaccine or no vaccine what with the variants i can’t imagine NYC subway rush hour feeling good right now 😣😣

Which office?

The vaccine is available to everyone. Covid numbers continue to decline.

Not everywhere, yet. And just because people are eligible it doesn’t mean they are able to get appointments

I’m guessing it’s still TBD. I was told by one place I interviewed at last December (I think) they planned to go back in May. Def not now.

My place openly says they have no definite idea and doubt we’ll ever go back to the traditional, in the office 5-however many days/week. Said we’ll very likely embrace a hybrid model once we can go back in the office.

Insane. You can not force people to get the vaccine. There are bound to be loads of people who are going to refuse. Can not expect people to go back to work without proper measures in place...

It definitely says a lot about a company that would do that though. I’m pregnant and there isn’t enough data about fetal development with the vaccine. If I couldn’t work at my company any more bc of that hesitancy and will to protect a developing human, then my company definitely doesn’t deserve me or any other self-respecting person to work there.

Cue the outrage.
(I do think it’s early depending on vaccine available in those areas, which varies. But once vaccine is available for all for a month or so? Sure.)

Well my outrage isn’t about going to the office in general. It’s about what you said - vaccine availability. And the overall public vaccination rate. Expect a percentage of your coworkers to not get the vaccine - because people are weird. Then ask these people to ride the subway into work everyday, ride the elevators, and of course who knows what unvaccinated people they encounter in their travels.

If we consider 70% vaccination to be the low end of what we call “herd immunity” is it too much to wait for that?

Wow really? Mandatory 5 days/week?

Not All havas. Depends on group

Just in time for the summer weather. 🌞 🏄‍♂️ 🍸

Not if I have to get on the subway. No way.

Okay, it’s time to stop putting on a face about this. I love my boyfriend so much, but covid is ruining us. We are both still WFH and argue every few days about the dumbest stuff. My and his mental health are both diminishing and it feels like an impossible trench to dig out of. My stomach hurts every time we fight and I (independent of him) feel so stuck in this horrible global crisis. I don’t want to lose him, but I need to figure out how to dig us both out of this unsustainable mental state.

Hope you all are doing great.
