i really can’t believe some people/companies think that having their office back open 5 days a week, full capacity starting this summer is a good idea. just because people will be getting vaccinated doesn’t mean the virus will go away overnight. capitalism really wants people to suffer.

Our office (NYC) has made it very clear we aren’t returning until after summer, and that it will be hybrid going forward. I think most companies will be hybrid going forward as well

I think there are plenty of people/company leaders who never wanted to shut down at all and so they are leaping at the first chance to return. These are the “it’s time to get back to normal” people who have never worn a mask over their nose and took vacations this year and said this was all overhyped and that the rest of us are sheep. We had a president who gave them more than full cover for those ideas and in many states their local leaders are on board with that as well- Pandering to the least educated and trolling for votes among the riled up toxic masculinity set.
And so, don’t just blame the company president, blame the governor of your state for making reopening possible and blame the maga peeps for arguing agains reasonable precautions every step of the way.
( liberal/science believing state: offices here have to be fully masked with special cleaning and other OSHA-like compliance rules and workers must be 6’ apart. So return is not happening on a large scale.)

I really want to go back as soon as I can because I am going stir crazy, but it should be totally optional for some time. Right now I think there is a booking system for anything truly office essential although the office is closed, so hopefully that can continue when it’s open.

I don’t trust companies to do the right thing at all. We could have shut down offices before the official mandate last year, but we chose to “follow guidelines” which always means the barest minimum legally possible.

I was supportive of Lori when this virus first started but her actions since have dwindled my support of her. I don’t expect her to make every decision correct nor do we have to agree with all of them. I believe she should be correct around 75 percent of the time but I believe she is in the 50 percent range. I know everything doesn’t fall on her shoulder but things haven’t been great as of late. Hopefully they figure out something soon.

My challenge to everyone of you. Every leader, every future leader, everybody who will lead this industry one day: when we get back to normal, whatever that will look like, get personally involved again with recruiting, hiring and mentoring. DO NOT leave personnel decisions to HR, alone. DO Not rely on the parasitic temp agencies like creative circle and Aquent to do all the work. Get involved. Give a damn. A creative leader saw value in me, l assume someone saw value in you too. Pay it forward.
