So, the CDC removed the Covid guidelines. I’ve never had Covid. I’m afraid people will come into work not wearing a mask and be inconsiderate… ughhh so distracting and disgusting. I’m also at risk to develop complications. Not sure if I should talk to HR. Not even sure if I should ask for accommodations to continue being able to wfh at least most days of the week to reduce risk. Idkkkk 😩This is so unprecedented. I always wear my mask at work. I’m getting pressured to attend firm events as well

I’ve been told that I won’t get a firm special bonus if I don’t come into the office or attend firm social events where usually I’m the only one in a mask… avoiding eating and drinking as well… I’ll take the hot for my health but it also sucks that I can do something about it.

funny

I would look for new opps or potentially talk to HR. It's wild to me that they can disqualify you for the bonus based on whether or not you come in or attend events during a pandemic and with a whole ass other disease out there as well. It doesn't seem like something a firm should be able to do. Maybe HR is the way to go and just push for WFH most of the time?

For anyone else looking to do the same, I’m happy to answer anything about the process - check in, flights, mask usage, security, visa checks, airports, social distancing, etc.

Hello Folks,
Can you pls advise on which company to go for.
R-Systems : They are providing WFH + clarity on the project and team for which I’ll be working upon.
CTS : No clarity as of now, only thing I am aware is that I’m a part of full stack community.
HCL : Some clarity on the project but less package than other two.
R-Systems and CTS are giving same CTC.
YOE ~8
Skill set : . Net full stack + Angular + Azure

Thanks
