They made us start going back 3 days a week (we were only on one) and we
have to come in even if our home or work county is red.  Oddly, our
contractors do not have to come in at all (down from one day a week).  The
way it was presented to us was that it was "optics"... they want cars in
the parking lot.  The first day, the lot was not full enough so that is
when, mid day, the resinded the "red county" rule and said everyone comes
in from now on regardless.  We also cannot take a WFH day if we have
symptoms or a positive test... it has to be both.

A member of management comes around at around 8am and turns all the lights
on, even for areas where there are no people (i.e. where the contractors
would be sitting when they used to be there) so that, from the outside, it
looks like the floors are full.

It was originally told to us in a video sent by email... "you all have done
so well working from home... productivity is up and sick leave taken is
down... that we are going to reward you by making you come in three days a
week."

What I get for working for a government entity, I guess.



.... Goodness! That was close! I almost gave a damn.
