I happily pick up random trash if it’s on my way usually, but not going to walk an extra 100 yards out of my way in the sun to throw something out if I’ve been walking around all day. Also litter sucks. And it’s be funny watching managers drive around sitting next to trash while I’ve been on my feet all day.

With the rise of the delta variant and increase in breakthrough cases our company's CEO has gone from "reporting on your vaccination status is voluntary, unvaccinated staff on campus will be encouraged to wear a facemask but we won't be the mask police" to "reporting on your vaccination status is still voluntary and we continue to encourage individuals to wear a mask while on campus, but now all employees/visitors coming on campus will need to show a valid form of evidence of having received a vaccine." Get a first dose of the vaccine and you can come in, while wearing a mask, for short visits. Don't want to get a vaccine because of "health, religion or personal reasons", then they can be "assigned a new role" working remote. Wondering if they're still going to expect vaccinated staff to come in 2-4 days a week by 1 October or if that'll be slipping due to delta.

We just got the notice that masks in the office are mandatory again, sigh I kind of want to go in today just to see how everyone who has to be there is taking it. I have to wonder how long we're going to placate people who won't get vaccinated, not just in my company, but in the country as a whole. I'm so sick of it

Got the promotion.  Nice pay bump + my first step into management, albeit they're only starting me with a single direct report. Still, figure this is the best way to dip my toes into managing and find out if I can do it well/don't hate it, and even if it turns out it's not the path I want to go down I figure it's never a bad thing to have some managing experience on your resume.

Perks of working remote - no masking and I don't have to interact face to face with people I despise wholeheartedly. It's funny to me, since I was last on SA, so much has happened! 1) The production manager at my primary location was fired - let's call him JA. 2) The office manager became the new production manager - let's call her EP. Replaced as office manager by JM. 3) The general manager was demoted to salesman - let's call him GB. 4) The replacement general manager asked me dumb questions every day about how to do his job. Let's call him GM2 since I don't remember. 5) GM2 and GB quit to form their own company, and took the guy who builds the pool cages with them. Replacement JS1 is...okay. Still a lot of work to do. 6) EP was fired for being a bitch. The permit runner - AS - moved in as the production manager (and permit runner). 7) JM was fired for being incompetent. Replaced by GS. 8) AS quit and is now running permits as a consultant. 9) The accordion-shop manager JP was demoted and his subordinate BH was promoted. 10) BH was demoted and replaced by JS2. 11) EP was rehired as production manager and fired a week later after calling the CFO a fuckhead to his face. 12) Salesman SH was promoted to consulting manager on the screen side - consulting because he owns a "consulting" company with one client - my company. Can y'all keep track of this poo poo? Because I loving can't.

I had lunch with a coworker today and apparently everyone on the team is absolutely pissed about returning to the office a mandatory one day a week. Should I have been pissed this whole time too? I just kinda shrugged it off but it is pretty silly to mandate we all be there for absolutely no reason. One person quit over this.

Of course the message sending down the new mask mandate also goes out of the way to point out that there are currently no plans to allow any staff to WFH again.  remigious posted:I had lunch with a coworker today and apparently everyone on the team is absolutely pissed about returning to the office a mandatory one day a week.

Businesses are desperately trying to get staff into the office ASAP because the longer the delay the more people will start to clue in that hey we've been largely working remotely for close to a year now and the sky didn't fall down, so... why do we have to be in the office at all again?

Different people are handling it differently. It does seem silly to ask people, who at this point have been successfully working remotely for probably 16 to 17 months now, to commute into an office so they can attend their zoom/teams meetings in a cubicle instead of their house. There's a ton of remote work out there, and people are getting significant pay increases changing jobs. Companies pushing RTO are going to be at a disadvantage. I've been working remotely for like 6 years at this point. I have zero desire to spend almost 2 hours a day commuting to the office so I can attend the same zoom calls I do from my home office.

Yeah every change is just "do whatever you want" with new words. Luckily were not set to be in office again for a while so maybe they'll get tougher at some point and force the hold outs to stop being babies and get the vaccine.

No official mandates yet but as far as I know the general policy of "you need to wear a mask when you're up and about, regardless of vaccination status" has never been (a) changed, (b) enforced or (c) done by anyone but me and like two other people. I have never seen my supervisor, who I'm pretty sure never got vaccinated, wear a mask. (She's not really antivax overtly, she was very insistent that I get it for example, but she's very much a "oh I really don't ever get sick, it'll be fine" person and I do not know how to get through to her.I have tried.)

I keep oscillating between "I need to quit tomorrow" to "I like doing this job and I'd be very happy to continue to be allowed to do it". So, how does one gracefully leave and should I leave my manager as a reference. If not, how do I explain not having them as a reference.

There is no graceful way to leave if your management doesn't want it to be graceful. If you are feeling accommodating, give them 2 weeks notice in a short, to-the-point email. If/when they ask you to do things to bring people up to speed on what you are doing, do it. Be nice to everyone you encounter, especially about leaving. If management wants to throw a tantrum, there isn't much you can do. I have never had to explain the absence of a particular person on my references, so I don't know what to say on that.

It has historically been much easier to find a job when you already have a job, and it's certainly a lot easier on your finances. I also feel like unless you dislike your manager, resigning is something that should be done as in-person as possible (I.e over Teams video if you're remote). You also want to write an email to send immediately after your resignation meeting.
