Is it insensitive to ask Managers/Senior Managers to get coffee face-to-face right now? I started at Deloitte over a month and a half ago and have never met anyone in-person yet and it feels weird

Yeah probably - We'll be back to in office in a few months id just try to be proactive about meeting people digitally for now

I totally understand where you’re coming from OP but if I were you I’d wait for them to suggest it as part of a larger team event. For me personally, I wouldn’t drive 30-45 minutes each way to get a 30 min coffee with someone - there just isn’t time in the day for that. When we were all in person it was easy to plan something in the office on a Friday when we were all there and pop down to the cafe for a coffee.

I’d find it weird if I found out my supervisor was hanging out with one team member in person while not inviting the rest of the team.

Probably. Mgrs and SMgrs that have families without vaccinations will probably stay away until it’s completely safe. The single ones might be okay assuming they live near you

This too. Many of us aren’t vaccinated. Just because I don’t have a family doesn’t mean I should risk getting sick. I don’t think we should treat people differently or have different expectations based on familial status (I don’t think you were implying that SA1 I just wanted to reiterate for others that assuming someone who doesn’t have a family and is Not vaccinated should meet in person bc they don’t have kids to protect wouldn’t be fair either).

like

I think that’s person dependent. Some will be ok and some will not, so just set your expectations accordingly so you’re not hurt if someone says no.

Hey, if you’re up for grabbing coffee outside with masks some time, let me know.

I seem to recall Uncle Ernie told us that any in-person meeting between employees is prohibited due to firm lockdown so I’d check and make sure D doesn’t have a similar prohibition
