Couldn't be happier. My office has ~1500 people in it when everyone is in and I take the train. I didn't want any part of it.
Logistics on this scale are certainly not my strongsuit, so I won't comment. It's not the whole company. I think our particular areas have proven to be eminently functional outside of corner cases, which made it easier to decide early. It sounds as if the potential to have to return to this state in the fall anyway was a sizable factor.

We know enough about how this is gonna work based on past pandemics (hello again, 1918!) that if anyone in your workforce can be remote without much productivity loss, you might as well leave them that way through New Years. Even if that vaccine gets rushed through in September it's going to take a while to get everyone vaccinated.
Gotcha - that makes much more sensee, then. They can move non-essential workers to home offices, opening up the additional space and restrictions that the city is looking to impose once they start opening things up a bit (think basic social distancing guidelines). We had a survey the other day where we had to rate our ability and desire to work from home as well, so I'm expecting my company to announce something similar for some groups in the future as well, just not 'soon'.

Oh, i know. I'm part of the group that is coming up with the cleaning guidelines and safety protocols we're going to put into place for our building when we do eventually open back up. I don't disagree with the fundamental idea of telling people to work from home - especially those who can and experience 0 productivity loss. It just seems 'early' for an announcement extending through the entire year. I think - and my business is planning on it, as its a huge source of our revenue - that this significantly alters the work from home/telecommute policy for a LOT Of employers moving forward - just a matter of in what capacity.
@JojoTheWhale - i think it was you a while back who mentioned this, and if not, I apologize. Are you the one who was doing that imperfect produce subscription? If so, what were your thoughts? We apparently have one coming today.

It was Jojo. I made fun of the shape of the produce.

Yes it was. We used Misfits Market. What we ultimately decided was that if you're insistent upon eating organic produce, getting the bigger box would make sense. The smaller box just didn't have enough quantity of most things to be worthwhile for us because I like having leftovers. We also found the week to week variety to be lacking. But the quality of the produce was good and deliveries were on time.
It shipped from Pennsauken via Fed Ex iirc.

Our campaign director will have an official statement out later tonight, but all i can say is that the people wont be disappointed with our stance.

A few full size carrots and this thing. Why bother?
Oh and Google Image Search is your friend for trying to identify produce you don't recognize, @Starat327

Hey, could be better/worse - I got told I'm NEVER going back to the office!
Gotcha. I think ours is from a different one, but with the same general idea. Wasn't sure how to feel because i thought i remembered there being some serious oddities.

There’s actually some people at my moms work that go in (she works for the government) essentially newer people who have zero clue what they’re doing & people that somehow don’t have internet at home. But that’s still a small pool of people.

Also...has anyone ever had a TV malfunction/explode/catch on fire...or something?
Was watching TV on Friday night when all of a sudden the TV made a snap crackle pop sound and the screen went black and tried to restart. It did once or twice, but then we noticed the smell of burning plastic and all of a sudden white smoke started pouring out the top of it.
I'm gonna assume it's done for, which is a shame...it was only about 4 years old.

I had a Commodore 64 monitor suddenly start smoking and catch fire when I was kid. That's the only time for a tv/monitor for me.
