What are some initiatives your company is taking or you’d like them to take to boost employee morale/support them during WFH? I.e. virtual concerts, WFH tips, virtual yoga class etc.

Update: now we have mandatory mental health training sessions. This actually hurts my mental health as more unpaid OT will be worked to make up for the hours lost to the training.

I'm just asking people to meet deadlines and be communicative. As long as the team knows what's being worked on and what the ETA is, I don't care when folks work or how much they do at once. This is the kind of situation where I can't take someone for coffee and ask what's wrong, so I'm giving everyone the ability to do things their way. Is it slower? Yeah, def. But no one is complaining about projects spinning out of control while being expected in a video conference while also being expected to homeschool while also having to cook for their whole family. Mostly the complaints I get are, "Is this over yet?"

Regretfully, I can't tell anyone it's over nor when it will stop being a crappy situation. I'm looking forward to the day I can.

I have to admit while UA has stumbled, stocks went down, etc., the company is doing a lot for us. Work when you can (which is great when you have kids) and get your shit done but virtual hh, workouts with their list of personal trainers, counseling on call, town halls with very honest answers, even ones that suck. I just appreciate that they are being reasonable and understanding.

It’s a hard time so I appreciate the little things that I can see others aren’t getting. Like relaxed deadlines.

Good Evening My Fellow Christian Educators! I realize it is going to be challenging for me this year...with so many of my students performing below grade level expectations in ELA and MATH and also ensuring that all students follow the COVID Guidelines in the classroom. I still feel hopeful that God will bless me with the knowledge on how to effectively impact each one of those kids. Let's remember to keep all educators lifted in prayer this year.
Have a wonderful school year!!
God Bless All❤️
