Feeling very frustrated

[MadameBee]

Ou team are key workers but we are able to do everything we need to do from home.

We are all working from home with daily conference calls in the morning with the whole team who are in that day.

Two team members (in their 60s) if relevant are insisting on going into the office like they are fucking heroes.

I have said I not see clients and I will dew wit clients over the phone, not face to face (even practising social distancing).

One of them is same level of management as me and has said everyone has their own views on it and it’s personal choice as to whether we WFH/see clients.

What part of it do they not get that we need to stay in and stop spreading.

They are also a bloody carer for an elderly relative. I have said it nicely but really? Why are some people behaving like it’s fuss about nothing?

Pretty sure the government chief medical advisor knows better than us.

Sorry (in their 60s if relevant)

Even key workers have been told to work from home if they can. It’s only if you can’t. They’re being reckless

At the risk of being ageist it does seem to be an age thing ...

One of them is same level of management as me and has said everyone has their own views on it and it’s personal choice as to whether we WFH/see clients.
You need to report it to more senior management.Yes, everyone has their views on it but they cannot just do what they wish any more.

Senior Management need to tell them that, as they are able to work from home, then they must. It isn't a choice, it's a rule set by the government.

@NotEverythingIsBlackandwhite I had a quiet word today.

YANBU OP. Just watched update on Spain on the news - deja vu re Italy a short while ago ..... looking likely us in a few weeks - thousands dead, ice rink used as makeshift morgues, sick people rammed into hospital corridors, army going into homes and finding dead bodies .....this is what WE are looking at very soon. Instead of watching it on the news, we will BE the news. It’s both terrifying and bewildering that people are still not getting the message. The makeshift hospital they are building in London to take 4000 patients highlights this is not a drill!!

Someone I know has posted on Facebook “staying home, saving lives” but was telling me earlier that her DS (18) is flitting between her home and his DF’s (whose DSD has juvenile arthritis and is on immunosuppressant meds), her DD’s boyfriend is still staying over a couple of nights a week and her DP is trying to find an air bnb as he needs to make a non essential overnight work trip as he “doesn’t trust the local manager’s reports”. But hey she’s working from home and saving lives!!

Well apparently we can still have DSDs but so feel apprehensive about that - esp as the hygiene there isn’t great.

I think some people desperately don't want to be stuck WFH for whatever reason.

I am concerned for one of my colleagues she desperately desperately still wanted to be allowed to come into the office,

It pisses me off.

We are just spreaders if we go out.
