Just as it seemed like corporate America was on a path toward normalcy, a new wave of Covid uncertainty is upending business plans from Wall Street to Silicon Valley.
Manhattan holiday parties are being canceled and banks are contending with fresh outbreaks as the omicron variant spreads. Citigroup Inc. told staffers in the New York City metropolitan area to work from home through the holidays if they are able, and JPMorgan Chase & Co. shifted its big San Francisco health-care conference online after major biotech companies pulled out of the event.
Apple Inc. and Alphabet Inc.’s Google have indefinitely put off their return-to-office dates.
The latest virus resurgence is putting bosses in a tough spot navigating employee safety and constantly shifting plans for office work, business travel and social gatherings after almost two years of Covid confusion. At the same time, many Americans have largely resumed normal activities in their personal lives, from dining out to attending big events, creating a disconnect between what’s happening at jobs and at home.
“This is just like Groundhog Day,” said John Ho, co-chair of the OSHA and workplace-safety practice of law firm Cozen O’Connor. “We had clients planning to bring people back after the New Year -- there’s some who have already decided to delay given omicron and also just the rise in Covid numbers overall.”
