at all. My company (Fortune 100) is going on a team by team basis and my team is back 2 days per week, but even that hasn't been working.

A number of people have already been out with Covid or other illnesses (myself included - I was sent home after testing negative for Covid, but with an extremely bad cold/flu) and others don't want to come in because they don't want to get sick and they can do their jobs just as well from home.

Out of our team of 28, 3 were in on Tuesday and 10 were in on Wednesday. They are going to have a hard time convincing people to come back in especially now when we are back on code red and have to sit there with a mask on all day. I didn't even have to be in 5 days per week before Covid. What is with this juvenile "asses in seats" garbage? It's so paternalistic.
