I do not eat in restaurants often, but when I have, I have certainly enjoyed the spacing between the tables. I felt like I could have a conversation and personal space
We were required to wear masks except when at our desks. Now we have to wear them all the time. My comment is just that I am getting used to wearing a mask for 8 hours at a time. Past 7 months the longest I wore a mask was about an hour when doing grocery shopping. Not sure what you don't understand. Not a complaint on the policy, just something new to get used to.You said they just changed the policy and you are not fond of it. If you are okay with wearing a mask (or not okay without wearing one) so I guess I don't understand you comment.
Well, I was referring to downsizing and keeping the same amount of work surfaces. In theory, if you have 75 workstations and 100 employees, 25 employees would have to share. So if you downsize so there's only 75 employees, there's no sharing.That definitely isn't true for dh's company. When they downsize they move employees from one location to another and it results in sharing office space at the new location.
The offices are like closets as it is and what used to be singles now house 2 to 3 people. Luckily dh works on stuff that is confidential so he is exempt from having to share.
I know you have taken great precautions through out this whole thing and that you just went back to work. Were you back at work before this policy change? If so, it appears from your comment that you did NOT wear you mask while at your desk but if in a shared space (as your post suggests), I am just surprised that you didn't. I know it takes getting used to wearing a mask all day but you DO get used to it. I have been doing it for months, even when policy says I don't have to at my desk (shared space, less than 6 feet between desks).Not sure what you don't understand. Not a complaint on the policy, just something new to get used to.
My son and daughter-in-law had their first baby recently. As much as they love us new grandparents, they were happy that there was a no visitor policy in place. It gave them some much needed time and space without having to be the ones to request no one visit.Working postpartum in a hospital, the limitation on visitors has been helpful. It’s a little difficult trying to help a new mom with 10 visitors in the room (the patient is uncomfortable, I feel like I’m on display, dads are a little tense, etc).
I would be happy if there was a limit on the amount and time period for visitors (before COVID, there was no limit on amount and the hours were 9a-9p).
I went back Tuesday. The email on the policy change went out at 8:30 Tuesday night. I did wear my mask at my desk Tuesday. The question some of my co-workers have is, would it have made more sense to just continue working remotely instead? Other issue some have it they have to be cloth masks, not Gators or face shields.I know you have taken great precautions through out this whole thing and that you just went back to work.

Makes sense to me. I wish my employer would require this as well since Gators and face shields have been shown to be less than effective.Other issue some have it they have to be cloth masks, not Gators or face shields.
I've seen why gators aren't good (the florescent cloud thing),haven't seen it for face shields, just message board comments.Makes sense to me. I wish my employer would require this as well since Gators and face shields have been shown to be less than effective.
AMEN!!!no more random hugs from people I barely know.
OP, I keep reading your title and thinking it says "saying" not staying. If this was the case, the things I wouldn't mind saying after this was all over.....well it's a good thing you wrote staying.
I thought of another one. Small, reasonable weddings. I do feel badly for the brides who didn’t get to have their dream weddings, but my neighbor’s daughter got married in their backyard. It was absolutely lovely and they had a blast. Only 30 people. Didn’t break the bank or go into debt, and the newlyweds are very happy.
We have two daughters in their 20s, so I wouldn’t mind if this trend sticks around for a while!
