director of IT said he can't make any official policies for wfh so it's up to our direct leads who tends to be ok

rip though to the 1300 call center employees in the building, also doesn't help that we're right next to 3 hospitals, and down the street from the first confirmed case in Indy

we had an all hands today and it was weird because they were like "no schedule for return to the office but it won't be for several months from now and even then it won't be mandatory if people don't feel comfortable about it or have other commitments" but also "we will absolutely not be allowing people to go full time remote going forward and we will only be hiring local candidates" and I can't quite suss the two out wrt each other

yeah this seems to be my companies position also

im gonna be a bit miffed if come next spring that changes and i could have been moved off to a cabin in alaska all this time

had to run to the office today because company tossing everything in our desks that ain't theirs. this is part of the return to office plans, guessing they are reorganizing everything. p sure IT is going to be permanent wfh and they redoing the office to support socially distanced underperforming call center duders. i guess overall it's nice being fully remote for the foreseeable future when other companies are throwing people back to the roni mines.

local isp had an outage that lasted a few hours. logged back in to WebEx when it came back up to find the director telling us that we should all have hotspots ready to use in case something like that happens

it director said in a town hall today we will be going back as hybrid eventually, wfh half the time.

wonder how that will work since they already gutted our office to rearrange for the call center, and are in the process of hiring 3k more for the call center

*schedules three hours of meetings per day*
“why is your productivity so far down????”

yeah my company decided that instead of just not inviting devs to useless meetings they should instead just have us at 5hrs capacity a day

also no meeting {day of the week} always ends up lasting about a month and then they try again with a different day

official word finally came down, starting back one day a week on tuesdays, increasing back to up 3 days a week eventually. since they've rearranged/distanced the office we all get to hot desk, and the company isnt giving us docks or anything anymore, just a chair and two monitors that may or may not have cables to plug in someplace. also masks are only required when walking around. i'll have my second hit of pfizer juice by then (and i've already had the roni twice lol) but i cant imagine this is going to do anything but make people more miserable than they already are. gonna milk these last wfh weeks to knock out some interviews for fully remote stuffs

first Christmas at current job the director walked around telling us how she was going to be at home comfy with her family while we were all still on orientation, meaning we couldn't take any time off

really set the stage for things to come
