| >they make employees look like spoiled children The choice being made to force people back in the office seems deranged when you calmly consider the facts in a logical manner. Everybody, including those who have been vaccinated, is being told they must wear a mask and stay six feet apart at all times. At the same time as employees are being forced back, everybody is agreeing that contagion could be a life and death matter, particularly for parents who have kids too young to be vaccinated yet. And what's the benefit? It's agreed that people can't chat together, can't huddle in conference rooms, so everybody who is in the office will be videoconferencing just like at home. Except that there will be more noise and distraction from others doing the same. Piling too many contradictions on people leads to stress and peculiar behavior even if they aren't consciously aware. Turning anger outward, even if it doesn't make sense, is a common pattern. You have to go back to the office. This could be devastating for your family. But it's inconvenient (and maybe futile) to make demands to the organization's leaders, or to find a WFH job. So you lash out at coworkers or whoever's convenient. The risks and (lack of) benefits are not my personal opinion; it's what other people seem to think. I would go along with any coherent view of things that is internally consistent and believed by a majority. But people are turning off their brains. |
