I don't know anybody who died from COVID and don't even know anybody who got dangerously sick. It's going to be an odd set of memories for me compared to a lot of other people.

My key memory is probably going to be the company being told Thursday we're working from home starting Monday. But my group being told Friday we're still going to be in the office, and when I asked why when other key support staff was going home "for efficiency." Monday we were switched to rotating, and that's mostly tapered off to WFH. It's left me with a feeling of deep distrust of my management. One, because I don't know who was requiring we be in that Monday, two for requiring it and then changing their mind, and three because it wasn't my boss (who is a very weak leader), but he wouldn't say who or admit "efficiency" was a shitty reason.
