Pros

Some good people make the job tolerable

Cons

Some people are being forced to come into the office amid the Covid-19 pandemic. Those who live with immunosuppressed or elderly people are severely endangering their lives every time management believes it is imperative to have people in the office. Staff are not being trusted to bring work home, which has now created a hostile work environment. If not for the financial necessity, I would already have left the company. Once this all passes, I’ll begin applying elsewhere. Beware of companies who do not value the lives of their employees and families.

It is concerning (although helpful) to learn you have this impression. There have been extensive on-going discussions and subsequent decisions surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, with the #1 priority being the well-being of our employees. Obviously, this has not transcended to you and possibly others, so will continue to enhance employee communications and ensure everyone is aware of AAR's willingness to provide special accommodations during this challenging situation.
