So I’ve cut my staff at work to a skeleton crew so as to minimize human to human interactions. We are down to zero redundancy with a spirit of each of us might need to work a little harder to keep our colleagues safe. I’ve been told to start thinking about who might have to go if there needs to be layoffs. (Angst.)
Then today I get into work and there’s some unknown person sitting there for rounds.
Who are you? I ask.
New technician for my department. Starting training.
WTF?
What about the maybe layoffs? And how does it make sense to train someone when right now we’re not doing anything the normal ways we do things?
PS when I drove out of my neighborhood on the way to work today, I saw three of my cycling friends out for a ride together.
