Maybe the execs and VPs will get Covid-19. That’s one way to get new leadership in here.
If you feel that MRO is taking actions threatening your health and safety complain - and join with others to complain. The National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) requires MRO to treat any complaint brought by two or more people in concert as if it were a union grievance. This means retaliation is forbidden under federal law, and the company has to take your concerns seriously. The same does not apply if you complain alone - there is strength in numbers. The NLRA doesn’t apply to managers, so those of you in those pseudo-leadership roles should not try this.
Maybe pry a little cash out of Tillman’s race car and get some PPE and Clorox wipes on the company dime!

There is likely no pressing business reason to do this, but that’s not the point. Making the peasants submit to time and attendance rules is the first step on the path to re-instilling worker discipline. The execs of the present moment are probably the first in history to be unable to utilize an economic crash to justify more rigorous work rules and it hurts them emotionally to be unable to do so. Lee and friends lack authority, but than can take back control. The master doesn’t beat the slave to improve performance, but because it would injure the master to refrain.
The entire plan is an unorganized mess. Marathon should stop trying to get employees to come back and let it go until after winter. Plan to let everyone stay wfh until after the second wave is over. People need structure not all this back and forth about changing the return dates every other week. How did Marathon treat their employees and contractors during the pandemic? They cared about more about the optics than practicality and common sense.
