As most of the nations large businesses are encouraging employees to work from home whenever possible wells is beginning their continuity plan. Surely they will follow the industry right? Nope. Team members are broken into teams and alternate working from home privileges on a weekly basis. Fingers crossed that you don’t get infected during your mandatory office week that is likely in a crowded downtown area :)

A few months ago there were posts calling us telecommuters whining crybabies for not wanting to drive into an office we never had, and calling us slackers and dead wood.
To paraphrase Detective Lieutenant John McClane, "Welcome to the party pals".
Greetings of the day. We're all doing the needful here.
It's all about shareholders. WFH is smart but the decision makers it seems are boldly not allowing it in a lot of areas even where there is thousands of.team members. I bet the decision makers are working from home though. Again showing us that those who are keeping the wheels turning do not matter.
Well won’t be for long ! Us is following other countries and a mandatory quarantine will be announced soon. This will override any company policy .
Cry me a river! All hands on board at our office.
What department is this that has a rotating schedule? I know some areas are allowing WFH during this pandemic, if your job is not customer facing. But had not heard of a rotating schedule. With all the schools closing, parents will need to WFH. Schools may be closed for awhile, and a rotating schedule would not work for that.
The decision makers don't seem to grasp on the nature of the virus... no surprise.
