    i tested negative monday night but tuesday i tested positive.
    good times.

    I hate being around dumbass people like that. For the time being we are still on work-from-home 4/5ths of the work-week. As people are becoming more lax, I enjoy that.

    At the place where I work, the owner of the company really wants us to be in the office, even though we could easily work from home most of the time (sometimes we do have to come in because we sometimes have devices and equipment at the office we need to use, but not all the time). There are times when I feel like it would be nice not to have to not have to go anywhere and just work from home.

    Thats the thing, if people have expressed a sentiment of "he's faking it" or "he's probably at the footy", then you want to be sure you're really sick before you take time off.

    What is "at the footy"?

    Some of our upper management would like us all back in, too. Based on some things they've said, I suspect it is because they want to be able to hunt people down and fuss at them for whatever is bothering them.

    They think that COVID is over. They also seem to think that ID Theft and
    fraud do not exist, if that tells you anything.

    well from what i've read about it, productivity wise, working from home de ated successfully.

    middle managment usually did not like remote workers because it created mo k for them. they had to spend time tracking, and they had a poor time adju to managing remote workers.

    In our case, it is an upper manager in our organization (which, I guess, is a middle manager in the whole) who never adjusted and I suspect did not
    want to.

    OTOH, one of my more immediate middle managers seemed not to like it at first, and was in the office a lot. I hardly ever see them now on the days I am in. I think they adjusted. :)

    I can';t recall which company it was, but some exec said employees who would love to stay working at home have a job, but those coming into work have a career and a future at the company. Let's see how HR and employee concerns handles claims of employees when promotions and raises do not happen or are less than expected.

    Insecure upper management thinks that people are pulling one over on them by not working from home.

    Poor management manages for effort, not results.

    Neither lack of skill lends itself well to capably managing remote teams.
