I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Wow. I'm sorry, Dana. They really strung him along!

I just spent three hours at the actual office at work, and... wow, that's horrible. I already knew I was okay being a demi-hermit, but going back in there just solidified it. I truly do not ever want to go back any more than is absolutely necessary.
Official guidance for my company is everyone whose job can be done remotely is allowed to WFH through October if they want to.

That sounds pretty reasonable. I hope more places follow suit.

Huh. Our April revenue was actually up from 2019. Direct-to-customer by a lot, but even "warehouse" shipments are up a little. I think we are still down for the year, but still. Surprising.
Will this affect the furlough situation? Not holding my breath.

It's more than reasonable for corporate employees, but I would rather see our fulfillment centers getting the same level of investment and care.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Not great start to the day in the office. Missed a call in with department Sr staff due to a call coming into the office. Report I thought I sent in, was never sent - got call from big boss.
And my nemesis who sent me all the paper docs to deal with sent me another large envelope!!!!

So true, Jessica. I think our warehouse workers are being protected (temperature checks, masks, gloves, distance maintained), but I doubt they are getting taken care of as well as I would like (bonuses and time off and just getting paid well). People (management) keep thanking them for dealing with the record number of orders, but are they doing anything tangible? The guy in charge of the warehouse is doing a "town hall" for us on Monday, maybe what he says will make me feel better about that...
You already have a nemesis, msbelle? That seems fast

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
oy ... got a message from our CEO that, effective June 1, we're having salary cuts. 10% for me (it's on a sliding scale - she's cutting 20% from her own, 15% from people making more, 10% for me and my salary range, 5% for people making less) which, since I'm moving into a new, more expensive apartment, may be an issue. But I've been saving up for more than a year, so I can probably ride it out. Will still have health insurance, so that's something ... not terrible, just one more thing to deal with.
