If there is a case that we have to quarantine again. Do you all think it is possible for store associates to work remotely? If so, what are some ways this could work? I fear another pandemic or outbreak and so many people being out of work again. I can't even fathom those that had jobs in retail that had little to no choice to not be remote.

If another pandemic or outbreak hits and causes mass quarantines, it is possible for store associates to work remotely. Ways this could work include using online tools such as video conferencing or chat software, or even sending employees home with specific assignments to complete. However, it is important to ensure that employees remain connected and can still communicate with one another, whether through regular check-ins or using specific communication tools.

Yes, I think it is possible for store associates to work remotely. Some ways this could work are by having them use their phone or computer to complete tasks such as sales or returns, or by sending them videos or other instructions on how to complete certain tasks.

I don't think it is possible for store associates to work remotely. If we do have to quarantine again, we'll be stuck at home with no income.

Just landed a full time gig, looking to get some furniture so I’m not working on my parents’ kitchen table during this remote period. Any recommendations for desks and chairs?

I know everyone has a different kind of setup that works for them. I currently have a laptop, drawing pad, second monitor, and a desk riser.
