Louisiana tells most of its 40,000 employees to work from home again

The Advocate
"A good many of the state government’s nearly 40,000 employees will return to working at home, at least three days a week, if possible, in hopes of lessening exposure to COVID during this fourth surge of infections, hospitalizations and deaths.
Additional COVID-related restrictions are expected to be announced at 3 p.m. today when Gov. John Bel Edwards meets with the press.
After several days of negotiation and consideration, Commissioner of Administration Jay Dardenne issued guidance late Thursday to the cabinet secretaries and elected officials that run state government agencies.
As one of Louisiana’s largest employers, how state government handles the surge in COVID infections could influence what private companies do.
State government employs about 38,130 people – 16,817 of whom are in the Baton Rouge area, 4,378 in New Orleans and 2,691 in Lafayette – making state government one of Louisiana’s single largest employers.
Entergy, the largest corporation in the state employs 12,500. ExxonMobil, the largest manufacturer, employs 6,000 directly and through contractors in Baton Rouge. Hilton Riverside New Orleans, the city’s largest private employer, employing about 5,000 workers."
Mayor Teedy you & Dr. Jen can now implement Phase 2.0 again!

Schools will be doing the same, at least that is what I am hearing (St. Tammany). There is a meeting on Monday night. I expect an announcement either that night, or Tuesday AM. If not virtual schooling, then a modified schedule, much like last year. I sincerely hope that what I am hearing is incorrect.

That's absolutely not the way to deal with this. Plus most state employees barely work on site, can you imagine the effort from home?

COVID goes away Tuesday and Thursday

Actually, everyone who can should work from home. Not just because of the virus but it's better for the environment, family life, congestion and productivity. If someone can be productive from home, we have the technology to make it work.

A large portion of government employees aren't even productive on the job, much less at home.

How exactly is it better for the environment? It's not exactly saving bees we are talking about

Stereotype much?
Every workplace had great employees, lazy employee, thieves and convicts.
It's a supervisory thing.

Not as much combustion and idling from cars. Einstein.
Look up ozone and air quality.
