We’ve all seen a few agencies still asking workers to come in to the office, amidst all the COVID-19 hysteria. Any companies on the brand side still expecting employees to be on site?

I’m brand side now (title not up to date) and we are mandatory WFH as of last week.

I’m brand side. Today is the first day of optional WFH, however it’s strongly encouraged to come in today and tomorrow 😑

Would be interested to know where that is, but can respect you not wanting to share those details. No employer should be encouraging people to be at work when a life threatening virus is at risk. It’s projected to completely overwhelm our healthcare system and who knows what devastating effects could take place after that. This thing needs to be taken very seriously.

Clawback clause in current contract: been in role for over 2 yrs, it was an internal move that required relocation. Relocation was approved shortly after (over 2 yrs ago) but covid meant the actual move and start of my contract with new subsidiary was delayed, I was paid by the previous subsidiary meanwhile. I got small relocation package. Would internal move be subject to a buy-out/clawback clause if I leave now and if yes, is it time in role or time under new contract? Any experience? Thanks!

My last therapist keeps coming up in my mind. I left her when I moved to a new area before COVID dug in and frankly it felt like leaving a girlfriend. She also disclosed in the final session that she was a member of AA and knew several of the people I occasionally discussed from the rooms. Her knowledge of the program certainly built trust with me early on, but it has been two years. I discussed it with my current therapist but she’s still in there. Any advice?
