[QUOTE="Bada-Bing!, post: 1046944, member: 70552"] Went into the office last week for one day and the partner took 5 of us in the department for lunch. The conversation came round to bringing people back in on 19 July. Our office has around 90 people working including a another firm whom we share the office space with. The partner basically said it was time we live with Covid, and the benefits of bringing people back outweighed the risk - repeating the Govt line. This was despite a manager in the department was currently at home sick with Covid despite having had his 2 jabs. I was sat next to two of my colleagues one had not been jabbed and the other only received his first 2 weeks ago. Both in their early to mid 20s. Anyway, he emphasised that they have ramped up the fresh air in the office and sent kits to people to test themselves twice weekly; office cleaned including the vents. But this misses the point not all people returning will have been double jabbed as a significant portion are under 30 or delayed getting their first jab if over. Still, the gist of it that my work have not taken into account illness from Covid is going to rocket from 19 July - if you get sick you get sick. And no account is taken of Long Covid either and peeps catching on public transport; traveling on the tube is still a worry for me. More that they want staff back in to keep an eye on them and that they are working. Not sure how other workplaces are gearing up for returning on 19 July? Same kind of mentality? No policy of only bringing back double jabbed people back first and phase to return those when they have plus 2 weeks? Only good thing is that I only have to be in the office 3 days a week, as they are implementing hybrid working. [/QUOTE]
