This company handled COVID-19 so poorly. This is a HEALTHCARE company. They should be setting an example for other companies. Instead we have been in the office since September 2020 despite the constant increasing COVID-19 numbers. Ed stated they were evaluating positions to be hybrid remote, one day a week is NOT a hybrid schedule. Since coming back full time with 100% capacity with our one remote day, COVID-19 numbers have skyrocketed with the dangerous delta variant. When the CDC suggested even vaccinated people should wear masks indoors to help prevent the spread, the response from the company was “we are a private building. The masking guidelines of the CDC does not apply since a majority of us are vaccinated.” This creates a constant looming anxiety for employees. We do not know what others do in their spare time, individuals who are vaccinated are typically asymptomatic when they contract COVID-19, but they can still spread it to others. With testing numbers down and COVID numbers up we should not be risking our lives so that we can “network and collaborate” via web chat inside of the building just because you’re paying for it.
