I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Thank you for the -ma. They did come back with a significant increase in salary, so we're pretty happy. I actually have a third interview with another company on Friday, so I still have to figure out what to do with that, but things are looking much better.

Has anyone's work started going back to any level of in-office working and has released a policy for employees with children that due to closed schools and day cares will still need to wfh? Specifically if there are positions that cannot telework?
If so, would you mind sharing with me? Big boss has asked that we research best practices, but most employee policies like this are not made public and I do not know many ppl in local government jobs to ask.
We have semi-reopened office and schools have announced they will be virtual through at least Jan so that is a conflict for us and all non computer type jobs.

My boss asked if anyone had constraints with the school year starting and kids at home so the new director can decide what to do, but I have no idea what that's going to be. We already are at work from home if you can and afaik warehouse workers are either supposed to show up or take leave.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I've been the only one in the office for most of the time. One other person is (supposedly) working Tuesdays and Wednesdays, since she says she can't stand being at home all the time. Today - oh, the excitement! - we had our top person plus three directors PLUS two people teaching a virtual class from our conference room (the lead instructor's home internet is non-netting). He'll be back tomorrow PLUS two more people (one's leaving and is having an exit interview with her director). It's very strange having people here. We haven't officially re-opened, so there's no policy on children. Sorry.

My work said that childcare conflicts would be handled using the guidelines in FFCRA, but that they are complicated enough that each situation should be discussed with HR. So there's no policy. (This sets out what FFCRA provides pretty simply: [link]
