#2I've always assumed most writers for these papers don't actually come into the office anyway. What's different? They're extending that to full time staff as well?

#4This seems to be the norm for many companies. Everyone is throwing in the towel on 2020 so far as the office goes with the goal to take a fresh look for 2021 at the end of this year. Many will likely never go back to the setup they had before.
If you’re in the market for commercial office space you can probably get some killer deals moving forward.

#5Meanwhile, my employer has said zero remote work once the state transitions into the next phase. They want to be "fair" to everyone, including those who have positions that cannot be performed remotely.
So, you have a co-morbidity? Nope. You have no childcare suddenly? Nope.
It's startling how stuck in the 1980's some people are. Just absolutely astonishing.

Does it make sense to name & shame these bad actors?

I have strong feelings against permanently remote. I feel like this hasn't been fully thought out. Face to face interaction is much more high bandwidth than remote video calls (in other words, it conveys more information). Not to mention that this transfers the costs of office space to the employee, maybe this is why all employers are quick to jump on this bandwagon. Curious to see where this new trend will fall in 2021.

> Wow, I guess I'll just tell my team you want them to die and they should find another job
This is what I told my boss when these orders came down... they are still deciding what to do.
Edit: Be aware, I have enough emergency savings for around 3 years worth of fuck it. I'm not you and you should not be me.

The implication being going into the office sucks and everyone has to do it to be fair.
I wonder if they're aware of that subtext....
