How come executives get to work remote as a covid precaution without a positive test or symptoms? They don't want to potentially expose each other's families to an annoying cold but us bottomfeeders have to show up week after week to see people coughing and testing themselves in the bathrooms during a nationwide surge?

Become an executive, problem solved…
Missing the point.
Project Thrive directs vaccinated teammates to keep working in office If they are asymptomatic until they test positive even with exposure to a close contact .
This executive was not sick or symptomatic But she stayed home because she was exposed to another leader who had covid and she did Not want to risk spreading the disease.
How come this executive gets to work remote without a positive test but the peons have to spew aerosols over each other until we shell out for a positive test?
@9otg+1h467AjF I definitely was not a lucky one in that regard. I am, however, still grateful for what I do have in light of today's climate and many other factors. I simply would prefer to work remotely full-time. I happen to think it is best for the company as a whole, as well, for the reasons already stated.
@8qll+1h467AjF
I guess you were one of the lucky ones that got a raise that was higher than inflation. If your raise was less than 10% then you already got the pay cut!
I'd even be willing to take a modest pay cut in exchange for the ability to work fully remote. Two of the three days I'm in the office there is hardly anyone there to "collaborate" with, talk to, or even overhear anyway, it's pointless. As long as the quality of our work is good and we remain readily accessible, no one should care whether we are working in an office building or on the moon. Giving employees the option would help us retain and attract good people, save the company money, and reduce our carbon footprint, to boot.
During one of the company conversations or whatever they're calling them today. If I think of it later I'll find the one on connect and provide a timestamp
@3epl+1h467AjF when?
You cna work remote if you're sick. The EMT has explicitly stated that, if you boss is not supportive escalate.
Remote leader buddies stay at home and do what you want. Hybrids, leadership checking badge swipes :-) All in or None. Bias & culture begin at top. Auditur et altera pars.
Woah! Slow down with all these ideas. We already implemented the "Operation: Human Shield" strategy from the Thrive Task Force!
We can talk about remote work flexibility at the next company conversation. This will be after we vet these ideas by spending around $20,000,000.00 on consultants, focus groups, and more meetings between executives and mangers on this topic.
I know the employees just filled out a survey. However, this process will be targeted on remote work flexibility only. Doing so will ensure that we get an accurate reading on what the appropriate response should be moving forward through these uncertain times. As always, we will not share this raw data and information we use to make a decision with the individual contributors. I know that the employees at CC will understand when we deliver our one word answer in the future - because they trust the EMT!
For now, the EMT and other senior managers will continue to be able to work remote as a safety precaution until we get more information.
Again, thanks for being on the front lines. Without you, we wouldn't have a company!
Really wish they would reconsider providing total flexibility in allowing employees to determine what workplace scenario works best for them and then just downsize office space accordingly.
