> Employer asking about what I do on the weekend?

I don't know

oh no said:

a friend of mine's employer fired a 25 year old because he was seen on social media floating the river two weekends ago with thousands of other 20-somethings despite being advised to stay home if he chose to engage in such activities... poor idiot just had to tell his boss, "hey I floated with friends this weekend so I'm working from home for two weeks". Instead, he denied it and went into the office anyway not even considering social media tagging possibly getting around to his bosses or HR. Everyone has their own opinions on how to approach life during this pandemic and some choose to take the evidence of community spread, sickness, and death, or the guidance from federal or state, or mandates from local government officials differently than others, but if your employer tells you not to do something and you do it, I think having your employment terminated can be justified. easily.

That was definitely a no-no. It is one thing to do whatever you are doing on the weekend. But then coming into the office on Monday despite a policy asking him to stay home in such circumstances, thinking nobody would be the wiser, was a guarantee to get fired.

This may not work for those that work in small office spaces, but for those of us that work in large downtown buildings with 1,000's of employees, I think I would simply tell my employer:

"My 4th of July plans include far fewer people than I'm being exposed to, by you, asking me to come into this office building 5-days per week."
