Question for office folks re: Corona
Posted on 3/17/20 at 10:04 am

Work in a large corporate office building. One of the employees went home sick last week, running fever, his girlfriend also works in same building and is in her office as we speak. Working from home now but plans on coming back Thursday. Had flu test that came back negative but no Corona test, still running fever. What plan does your company have in place to address something like this? Should he be forced to have the Corona test come back negative prior to returning to work?

There was a positive case in the building I work in. We are now required to work from home and can't come into work.

If it’s contagious as they say it doesn’t matter. You all have it now. May as well stay at work and work through it instead of going home and getting healthy people sick

Anyone with a fever shouldn’t return for 2-3 weeks.

The problem is that your coworkers have no obligation to share anything about their health.

I sent all of my staff home for two weeks with pay and they do not have to use any vacation. But my staff will be doing some work from home.
Doing my part.

To my knowledge there is no plan in place. We have 100% capabilities to work from home and are all still here.

The company I work for has no plan that they have communicated to employees. I don’t exactly want to work from home, I certainly understand that if I am not billing I am not worth anything, but at this point it would be nice to hear some sort of update.

We have a woman whose daughter is being tested for the virus today and the lady still came to work (they live together). If the daughter tests positive we'll get the mandate to work from home.

14 days free of fever and symptoms with no fever reducing meds minimum before they are let back in our building.

The La. Supreme Court/Fourth Circuit building has dictated all employees (save a sparse half dozen or so) work from home. Although they are allowing people to come in to retrieve stuff they need to work from home, security is taking temperature readings and any employee who has a temp of 100 or more will be forbidden access. That is over and above the building being off-limits to any non-employee.
Any sensible private white-collar style business is being irresponsible in allowing people who are manifesting signs of illness from entering their offices. That said, I've actually heard from a reliable source that Jones Walker -- the biggest law firm in the city -- is either requiring employees to come in or has not articulated any kind of policy vis-a-vis the virus. Seems laughable.

How many people are going to start claiming to have symptoms or even claim to have the Kung Flu just to stay home?

Worried about that as well.

On my unit anybody who acts sick has to do the “walk of shame” where they have to run past us and we all get to hit him with a piece of chain
But we’re the backbone of America I don’t know about you little office betas

All of our active construction sites are still running, but all-hands meetings have been suspended, POD meetings are staggered between scopes, and everyone in our Denver and Sacramento offices are being encouraged to work from home the next two weeks, but no official notice. I think that will change with the recent updates from restaurants and whatnot.

Our office of 65 people are actually "waiting" for someone to test positive before talking about or taking action whatsoever....

Presuming they are still required to work from home; to the extent they get nothing accomplished they will be fired, right?
