The pleasure of finding things out

My office is barren. Most people have stopped coming to work as it constitutes a public place with large gathering areas [the pantry being one].

Meetings with more than 3 people have been stopped, and folks are asked to dial in to such discussions if the need arises. There is fear in the air, with employees wearing masks at all times and avoiding talking as much as possible.

Out of my team of 22, only 3 people [including me] are in the office today. The others are doing [supposedly] the wiser thing by working from home.

Our Vice President for India operations has sent out a missive asking people to work from home if they can, and that various precautions were being take in the workplace like regular swiping of doors, etc.

Unfortunately, I cannot benefit from it because I have a lot of international calls to make, and hence need to be in the office.. at odd hours, that too! :(

C'est la vie!
