You folks wanting WFH be careful what you wish for. We've been WFH since Monday, and with 3 kids and wife , dogs barking, landscaper, people ringing front door, etc., I could get nothing done (have to call customers). So, as I type this from my empty downtown office that I came to late this morning, I can tell you I had the most productive day this week. Plan to keep coming back.

Almost no traffic too!!

Noise cancelling headphones are a godsend.

Not when you have to actually be taking care of all that stuff and working. My productivity has been awful, my kids are young enough to need some supervision - otherwise I leave my office and look up and the house looks like the Deltas just had a party. Or they want lunch. Or I try to get them to do something mildly educational like a worksheet. I love WFH when I'm the only one here, but this is a madhouse.

We are working with neighbors to use college/high school kids in the neighborhood to babysit. We are rotating houses.

Yeah one of my neighbors who works for BP and I are doing that. His wife's a nurse and my husband is a cop so we're both home alone with the kids. We've been trading shifts as much as possible. It's amazing how much energy a pack of 7 year olds have.

Right there with you. Just saying that's the risk we are taking.

Confirmed case in the same building as my company's Dallas office (which my office is technically a satellite of), and they are still only approving WFH on a case-by-case basis. Granted, I haven't heard anyone request it and get denied, but it's still frustrating.

I'm on forced work from home until further notice.

I'd likely be fired if I tried to go into the office.

Have those of you who work at places demanding in the office raised the question of how a state mandate lockdown like California's will be handled?

Same here, but we have an actual date...WFH through April 3.

With our command staff?

Still no guidelines on working from home for non-essential. You would think you would tell them to stay home and wait....in case the front lines go down with symptoms or exposure...then you could replace them with non-essential....

But no. Let's just stick non-essential on the front lines when CFS are down.

Do ya one better......

Officer on my shift at the PD called in with a fever.

They told her since it was only 100.3 and not 100.4 or over, to come on in to work. So now she's on shift working with all of us.

Making people work when they know they are sick is the stupidity that gets me angry!

I'm praying you don't get it!

Thanks for your service to all of us.....

I'm a nurse so no, they aren't letting me work from home.

Give this one as many blue stars as possible. While everyone in this thread *****es about no WFH, the rest of us in healthcare will show up and not complain one bit.

---

If you work in healthcare and dont understand that ICU's cant handle the projected number of patients that are going to need care at the same time, resulting in unnecessary deaths... idk I cant help you. It's not a matter of complaining or fairness. People staying home in order to limit the amount of asymptomatic carriers infecting others sounds pretty good to most docs and nurses.

---

I understand that completely. My comment had absolutely zero to do with that and was to lift up those of us in healthcare that have given ourselves in service of others, while also questioning the motives of those *****ing about not being able to work from home. If I thought everyone *****ing on this thread had the same mindset as you I wouldn't have commented.

You can take your condescension and shove it right back where it came from.

About half our office will be alternating weeks/days starting Monday. I got tagged as "critical", so for the time being I am at the office every day. I am normally a environmental coordinator/wildlife biologist and most of my normal duties are way slowed down, so I'm unofficially being our internal health and safety guy for a bit.

Good for you!

My wife's company went from alternating weeks to full blown WFH over about 2 days. She is pretty happy I got tagged to be in the office for the time being. I get stir crazy pretty fast.

Well, that what I meant, "Good for you". Me, along with many others on this board only wish they could be at work instead of home right now.

I think many were looking at "stay at home" as sort of a vaca or short "snow days" break. A nice relaxing pause from work. They didn't realize how crappy this actually turns into long-term.

WFH through April 30. That was announced yesterday.

I could do my job 100% from home. But I'll be on site every other week.
