If travel is off the table strictly because of covd, I have traveled quite a bit while taking precautions of course and a little research to see what’s open and what’s not. It has been an amazing experience without breaking the bank.

Boss has WFH for 9months. I have been WFH for 2-weeks for travel quarantine/state guidelines.

I get the perspective of team unity, but is it wrong to feel there is no reason to risk my health? The company justifies increasing my covid risk (high-risk already) to “show face”, when my job is being fulfilled while WFH. Am I crazy?
