My client has two kids at home who are sick with fever and cold-like symptoms but isn’t showing any symptoms herself. She was just cleared by her boss to go back into work by company policy! Insane!

It’s crazy! It’s a white-collar, manager level position that can easily be done at least 70-80% as well remotely. But the client organization is way behind the curve on regulations.

Yikes.

How old are the kids? Maybe they're too young to be affected by COVID and just had normal flu?

My husband’s client’s kid attends the same daycare where a 2 yo tested positive. The family of the young kid came back from Florida 2 weeks ago. The client’s child didn’t show any symptoms but very likely got infected by the 2 yo and infected the mother. Now the client is sick and so are 2 other consultants who were working with her in the past weeks.

Does seem crazy

She should get her kids tested for strep and flu. If both negative, then time to worry. That said, if they have nasal congestion, much less likely to be COVID. The WHO study said that was a symptom in only like 5% of cases.

Networking question here. A retired partner at the firm I used to work out reached out to me recently about attending an afternoon during the week (b4 4/30) with one of his long time clients. The partner and I have kept in touch since I joined my new firm and I feel like his invitation is a great networking opportunity since the client (who I have worked with before) is on a number of boards. Torn as how to request off as an S3. Could materialize to nothing but could be good for reconnecting.

What do you do with employees who keep finding excuses for being slow on their tasks? We hired someone a couple months ago. She is doing ok with her routine tasks, but when I assign her one off project, she’s slow and would never report her progress unless I ask her.
