No summer camps means WFH all summer.

Yep yep. It pretty much has to. How many Dual income families have kids? Lots. Might help offices stay less busy too if they have 30% of workers WFH longer.

I'm worried I'll be laid off before then. Hey, maybe all the unemployment is going to mean it's not a problem. Hahaha, sigh.

Get them to do some of your work. They can consider this a work term and get credit for it in future university! (maybe)

This sketch is terrible in the context of covid. You wearing a mask wont do shit if a COVID carrier is "peeing" everywhere, as youre just as likely if not moreso to get it from a surface. Masks protect others from yourself.

Well that's why it's mandatory. So covid carriers isn't peeing everywhere.

Costco now has mandatory mask policy for a lot of its stores.

May be even all.

Everyone is itching to reopen and get economy going again. Mandatory face covering is a small price to pay.

Man the asians must be so stoked that the gov is making everyone else wear masks now so they aren’t the only ones looking ridiculous in public.

Our company just sent out an email for Canada folks that says we have no plans yet to bring people back, and when we do it will be in a "slow and meaningful way". They're going to come up with a plan likely during the month of may, to be implemented... sometime after? haha. WFH for a while for me.

The thing is, they are too young to drink coffee, and they can't swear worth a shit. So I'm not sure how much help they'd be with my particular set of workplace issues. I think the one has learned how to make powerpoint presentations, so she could be an exploitation of development intern no problem.

We got confirmed no plans to be back in the office until at least the 15th, with some updates in a town hall tomorrow.

FTFY

Those are budding executive skills right there.

I feel like we are going to be WFH all year. I’m just glad schools and daycares will be back in action soon.

"exploitation or development MANAGER"
Ftfy, Those are budding executive skills right there.

@mr2mike any thoughts?

I do know I have never worked with an exploitation or development manager who SOMEONE didn't think was a tool. That includes the ones I encounter in sales meetings now. There's some real gems out there. The profession seems to create them.

Edit: shit, just realized there's at least one of my prospective customers who has that title and is on beyond. I really don't mean you buddy. I swear.

A good quote I have heard for that job is that if everyones your friend you aren’t doing your job right.

Whereas drilling managers aim to have everyone disliking them.

We are definitely an industry of people persons.

Haha my wife's dad is a landman/head legal counsel for a private O&G company, he's pretty solid and reasonable. V likeable guy.

I got an email today that we are heading back to the office June 1st and here I was on a roll crushing home projects that I have been putting off for the last 3 years

what really sucks is that now I have to starting paying for fuel after a healthy pay cut and I need to update the car insurance again...

[mr2mike]

Good thing fuel is half price for now. Even after the carbon tax hike in April that no one even said boo about.

Not half price anymore with it jumping 33% at the pump overnight.

My wife is sad that WFH is going to be over, especially with the weather warming up and we can work on the patio

If you bring Everclear to work as disinfectant, would anyone question your alcoholism?
