My wife’s office is doing staggered hours. What the actual fuck is that? There will be 5-6 hours of time where they’re all there. Instead of looking at how folks can work from home, this is your solution?

Similar situation at my employment. Conduct what you can from home. If you need to come to the lab, then stagger your team and yourself so that there is less interaction. Woo-hoo

At the office, but I'm allowed to work from home if I choose. Most people aren't here, but I live close by, hate to work from home, and feel that if I were to pick up the virus here it would have (or already has) happened. My place of employment is an absolute petri dish when everyone is here but now probably not so much.

Are you using your personal computer at home or a government-issued laptop? I'm an IT contractor for the Navy and the Navy brass wants as many people as possible to telecommute, but NMCI (the network most of the Navy is on) is, for now, telling them to pound sand unless they use their NMCI laptops (very limited supply) which have been locked down. But NETWARCOM is getting close to telling NMCI, "Fuck it, we'll assume the risk" and have NMCI open the network up so everyone would be able to use their home computer (huge fucking mistake IMO).

It irks me to no end that you benefit in any way, shape, or form during this COVID-19 situation.

I don't consider this much of a benefit. It extends tax season, which fucking sucks because I have no interest in taxes post 4/15. But it gives me the flexibility to tell people to stay the fuck away, so that's the best thing about it.

I work in Healthcare IT in the Cleveland area so we are getting hammered right now. We've been instructed to work from home but I support an area that is critical to what is going on so I have to be on site right now to accommodate the flood of operational and workflow changes coming in to mitigate the spread of the virus. Most of my team is working from home but I am here on site chugging away and have been pulling long hours every day on site, including weekends, and remotely from home at night. I've easily put in 40-50 hours since Saturday already and have been mandated to be on call 24/7 until things calm down.

You had that option before. You just aren't willing to man up and handle the consequences :p

Every corporate security group is shittin the bed right now.... even with a gov laptop 99% of the are trusting a $100 router that probably hasn’t had a software/firmware update since they installed it...

That's true. :lol:

It also gives me the ability to stay away if I need -- I was home yesterday with a cough and a fever. It took everything I had to stay home even though I absolutely knew I should not be anywhere near other people. Now I know I that if anything like that hits me again, I can stay home with no real fear of long-term cost.
