Before covid19, there is no WFH and I fall sick every now and then. After the start of covid19, WFH started, I rarely fall sick. All hail WFH. :)

Buy all WFH the Amazon Prime plan and bubble suit
Since WFH people never get sick, Intel should take away their expensive healthcare plan. They can can shop around and get their own. Maybe something from the AFFORDABLE care act? I mean, it's affordable, right? And you never get sick, right?
Make some sense. The first week of 2025 I went back to work in Intel office, I was infected with flu A, 2 days later, all my family got infected. Too bad!
I only get sick from working in cubicles. Even before COVID, I got the worst virus sickness from the cubicle where I couldn't even raise my arm because the virus entered my shoulder muscle. Once I was allowed to stay away from cubicles I haven't been sick for over 4 years. It's amazing that it's the year 2025 and people actually choose to let viruses in to their bodies and brag about passing their viruses to other people proudly.
these comments are homoerotic
It seems OP is probably getting a lot more rest by not working, while WFH.
What doesn’t ki-l you makes you strong, OP is weakening to nothing
Maybe your insurance coverage can be reduced for WFH employees.
Living in a bubble is always good until you leave it and get exposed to new germs.
we all know which "people" you are referring to
Same here. But prior to Covid and WFH, I learned not to touch the handrails on the stairwells, and avoided touching door knobs/handles. If I had to I'd wash my hands or use hand sanitizer immediately after.
The problem is that most people don't wash their hands properly at Intel.
I had a remote team in Folsom/Hillsboro for five years. They would all get sick and not once did the cold/flu come down the wire to me.
Preach it!
it was great for healthcare and healthcare costs
it should have lowered premiums
