I had a feeling a new variant will somehow show up and RTW will be postponed yet again for Jan 2022, this seems so unreal but call it conspires or whatever this game is well planned to keep workforce back into office, the longer it lasts the harder it will be to cinvince or force people to come back.

Unvaxxed spewing lies. If you’re vaxxed you’re LESS LIKELY to get the disease, LESS LIKELY to spread it if you have it, and LESS LIKELY to clog the hospitals if you get it. The unvaxxed KNOW THIS, but they’re dishonest and want to own the libs. Freedumbies.
Why isn’t there a mandate against being overweight and unhealthy? Gee I don’t know maybe because that’s not a worldwide public pandemic that ki--s people within a few weeks of becoming fat?
The vaccine does not prevent the vaccinated from catching and spreading the deadly virus, yet the vaccine mandate is for the "public good"?????????
The vaccine protects you and you alone so it is basically a selfish action. Not good or bad, just selfish, for one's self. I am vaccinated, just not deluded about it. The hospitals have long since recovered from the surge, so save the tired old false reasoning.
You would be less disingenuous insisting that overweight and unhealthy people at risk take better care of themselves, to keep them from getting sick and dying from not only the virus, but everything else. Why isn't that a mandate?
@3srd+1e1bsWgH:
For a similar reason that the anti vaxers refuse to get jabbed: Principles. Many anti vaxers are refusing based on their principles that their freedoms are threatened when government overstep boundaries. The principles behind many pro vaxers are about accepting the vaccine mandate for the public good. That’s why the vaccinated care.
Yes, there are plenty of pro-vax sheep on here "pointlessly whinging anonymously here to trolls to blow off steam" as someone put it. I am not sure why they are so concerned if they are vaxxed. Doesn't the vax protect them? Why are they so concerned about people that they have so much spite and hatred for? Well, they're not, they are most likely a bit apprehensive about having taken a poorly test vax that is not known yet to be effective against the new omicron variant. The anti-vax people have no such fear as they do not believe that the vax is worth the trouble. I took the first two but may not take any more. Tired of this going on and on. It's getting ridiculous.
just get vaccinated already. or pay to get a test every week. or find a job elsewhere. pointlessly whinging anonymously here to trolls to blow off steam isn’t gonna change the choices
For everyone waxing on about no longer needing to work in the office, everything can be done remotely, etc., you’re right. Your job will be done remotely, just not by you. #offshored
You will RTW….and like it!
I won't be getting the jab so only 3 days left until I am placed on administrative leave without pay (GOM FFD requirements). I had covid early this spring, a serious bout of it, was hospitalized and seriously ill for a while but recovered fully. My decision will cost me my job. It was good while it lasted but the relationship has run its course. I was stressed, unsettled and a bit angry for a while when the news came out but after a couple months of reflection I concluded that the only thing I will really miss is the compensation and benefits. Money is a useful tool and you can accomplish a great deal with it but at this stage of the game for me, I don't feel like money should be the driver of my decisions. I won't miss the work, kind of bored with my area of industrial expertise, at least the way its performed and managed at Chevron and feel that its ok to let that career go.
I don't think I will ever allow another employer so much control over my life. Probably won't actually be ever "employed" again. Could fully retire now but don't feel ready for that life transition yet honestly, just over 50. I may do some short term contract work if the right opportunity comes around or begin helping out in a good friend's growing business, or expand my side hustle, etc. all of that is yet uncertain. But I am certain of a few things. I won't be relocating for work, won't be working nights, won't be leaving home for weeks at a time unless its for vacation, won't be acting the part to fit the role, won't be wearing a sticker with my vax status, won't be writing up goals and actions for a PMP, won't be biting my tongue as much, won't be doing many things that we all must do to fit into the corporate culture and achieve success. Thank you Chevron for all you have offered over the years. I did my best to apply myself, work hard and deliver results in my role for the good of the company and I got paid well to do it. Maybe it's not the best of endings, no retirement party, no going away financial package, no leaving on my terms, and no reaching the retirement and pension goals I had hoped for but so it goes. My tale continues, time to start a new chapter, one where the protagonist is a little less focused on money, a little more wise about time, a little less stressed about work, a little more free to live well, a little less managed and a little more me.
there goes another year of office rental and maintenance fees…cbres is getting an extended break
Well, OP, omicron has arrived, so you are quite prescient. Looks like RTW will be pushed back another few months...
@ygk, Do you really take your comments seriously? You sound foolish and immature. Someone under 16 years old may get a pass for remarks like that, but save yourself some embarrassment and ridicule if you actually speak like this way openly. People and some friends may not say anything back, out of kindness, but what they take away is not flattering towards you.
The whiners are the ones who are desperate to get everyone in the office due to their selfish needs. Other whiners are the babies who are afraid of a little shot and whine about taking away my freedumbs. You have the freedom to not take the shot but with choices there are consequences. The world and opportunities for the un-vaxxed is growing smaller (as it should be) but hey its your freedumb to not get vaxxed. If hospitals ever start having issues again its back of the line for un-vaxxed
There are no more clogged hospitals and vaccinated people can pass the virus along and infect others and do so more than the unvaccinated. Get over yourselves and get off your sore A$$es and get the flip back to work, whiners and complainers. You've run out of pissant excuses. You're only making it harder on yourselves.
@dgd+1e1bsWgH No need to go back to the office as people can work from home anyway. The pandemic will never end as long as people are following conspiracy theories and being irresponsible towards their community. At this point either get vaxxed or if you don't and need hospital care for covid they need to be sent home to care for themselves and accept whatever happens. Stop letting them clog hospitals after being reckless.
Sure, that's fair enough, just don't require others to do as you do because it makes no difference to you either way and you are spreading it and infecting others as much as anyone else regardless. Get back to work at the office and STFU with all the whining, is what I say.
No one is saying those who are desperate to go back into the office can't head up there now. Go enjoy the office if thats what you like. Doesn't mean you have to force those who like the extra time with family back in the office to meet your needs.
Those out in the field should be rewarded for their time working on site during covid. A sort of hazard pay as they have done great working out in the field and should be more than just commended. It still does not mean jobs that can be done from home desperately need to be sent back in the office to make people miserable.
#1. Get vaccinated so we can end all of this mess. Be responsible!
#2. We do our jobs from home just fine and have been working hard from home. Yes there are some lazy people but thats the same in the office. Being in the office guarantees someone is working all the time and not chatting with people or playing on their phone?
#3. Needing to be in the office is outdated and the past two years have shown that. We don't need long commutes to go to the office to do what we can do at home. Save the money on the real estate. If you desperately want to re-live the days of eating a sad lunch brought from home, spending hours in traffic and sitting in cubicles all day by all means head into the office. Those that can work from home, let us!
Get back in the office and do your job. Us folks in the field are tired of showing up to site every da** day since Covid started and getting the barrels out of the ground to pay your salary while you sit at home.
Yah I won’t be able to work with the unvaccinated breathing omicron helllfire and daamnaation upon me.
My bet is RTW May 2022!
going into 3rd year of 2020
