2022-May-27, Friday 14:53Well that didn't last very long.
When we went back to the office a month ago, the system they settled on after two years of work from home was three days in the office, two days home, with a small minority of people having a different schedule. Well, apparently not everyone in the building got the memo--we were told that while our department had done pretty well sticking to the 80% on, 20% off schedule, most of the other departments were much more lax. There were supposed to be 25 people in IT in the office Monday through Wednesday, but the actual number was more like 15-20 on any given day. So the word came down that we're going down to two days in the office, three days out--from now on, we'll all be home on Mondays.
And then the COVID level is high enough that we're all home if we like until it goes down anyway, so it's back to 💯 work from home anyway. A couple weeks ago, I overheard the data director suggest that we'd be home for a few weeks, in the office for a few weeks, and so on back and forth for a while. It's looking like he was right.
