Some of the biggest U.S. companies have scuttled plans to force office workers back this fall

This summer, executives at health-care-technology firm Epic Systems announced a plan: Most of the 9,500 employees at its 1,000-acre campus in Wisconsin would be expected back in the office in September.

The company, like many others, says its employees do their best work when they can collaborate in the same space. But blowback to the mandate was swift. Employees expressed fears about. Local health officials questioned the move. So Epic joined legions of other companies making late-in-the-game changes to office-reopening plans, saying this month that staffers could work from home at least through the new year.

“I always say my crystal ball is not good enough,” said Brett Rehm, an Epic vice president involved in the company’s return-to-office strategy. “It is good to have future plans, but you have to pay attention on a daily basis to what is going on.” Expecting the virus to be under control by Labor Day, many employers had hoped to bring white-collar workers back to the office next month.

If they don't want to work, fire them. There are many who want to work.

If schools can open, why not offices? There is certainly less social distancing in school then there would be in an office.

Same in Britain, old Boris is trying to force employees back into their offices. No one trusts the government.

May 2021 at the earliest.

Yeah, if the Media would stop the fearmongering, people would be better off.

BS

If MSM would stop whipping up excessive and irrational levels of fear, it might help.

People want to stay home

A bunch of slack

Just FYI, Lawrence Welk is on for another 30 minutes on PBS. Lyndon and I enjoy his program.

Fears over false positives

My hunch is people just don't want to commute anymore

I will never watch the office. It died at tuna enters the fray sure fire.

The worst mistake a governor could do is shut down industry in his/her State. It’s better to implement preventative measures such as cloth face masks and social distancing where able to.

Biden tweeted Oct 25 2019 about a pandemic. Suspicious timing? 😮 “Phylogenetic estimates support that the COVID-2 pandemic started sometime around Oct. 6, 2019 to Dec. 11, 2019, which corresponds to the time of the host jump into humans.”

People are terrified to return to work because they've been subjected to six months of nonstop panic porn and doomsday reporting from the local and national media.

Trump scammed America and failed to pay taxes on over $100 million in taxable income in 2012 associated with his hotel tower in Chicago. Trump laughs at ordinary, honest Americans who pay their income taxes.

Biden . SHAME ON Democrats ! Made in UK Globalists !

You know what would have helped? A working nationwide testing program...before the virus seeped into all corners of the world. MurdererInChief

Nobody is in a hurry to go possibly die for the same a-holes that don't want to pay them a livable wage. Maybe dont treat people like crap, and they will care a little more.

They dont care about us, that's pretty clear. Production is up almost 40% in the last 30 years, yet wages haven't even kept close to cost of living. They just give them selves bonus money, then the smallest speed bumb and they want US to bail them out. It's pretty clear.

I have found it much harder to follow a schedule, stay driven and focused when working from home. It's too easy to turn on the TV, go to the bathroom, get food etc. Looking forward to going back into the office

This is good. Punishes Democrats and their mayors and governors who used scare tactics to impact the election. They poisoned their cities and had the hubris to think they would be able to put the pieces back.
