3. All at once?

We are in NJ - we started with 25% of staff in the office in mid may. That's a shortened day - staggered arrival. Three days a week.

July - 30-40% in the office - same shortened day/staggered arrival. 5 Business days in the office then five WFH - rotating.

Our restrooms, office, etc. etc. - everything has plexiglass, we have a nurse checking us when we walk in.

Our production teams had their lines doubled to create social distancing, plexiglass in between stations, staggered arrival, staggered breaks, and two shifts (we normally do one).

We build cloud servers so we haven't taken our foot off the gas the entire time. Down time was very low as we have been considered essential since day one - but the closed days were really to make our office, production and warehouse facilities all plexiglassed, check the ventilation, deep cleaners, uv cleaning, etc. etc.

They better give you ppe - like I get mask if I don't have one when I arrive to work, temp check, sanitizer all over the place etc. etc.

They are taking one hell of a risk if you don't HAVE to be there. Lets put it this way - my Analysts are not in the office. I see no need - and they aren't leadership interacting with other leadership. Over my dead body are they coming back in.
