Change of policy monday afternoon
|
|
|
|
|
I'm critical to an important project so I've to stay away and not catch anything by order. Not good for the rest of IT. They are expendable!
They do get a free lunch when they come in. So that's alright then.

in an alternate universe, me too!
I do not fear of failure. I fear of giving up out of frustration.

And I'm lucky I work on a boad, not an engine block. Some of my coworkers aren't that lucky.

Also lucky that your employer bought full sets of test hardware for each engineer instead of cheaping out with shared instruments I suppose. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Oh no, we have everything shared. Only some people got the hardware, all the other work only by second hand - either do something and send to those who have the equipment or wait for things to analyze and give results.
My team is made of two engineers and a coordinator/architect and both of us got the whole package, considering that we saved the project from failure and the company from bankruptcy (this customer is the 2nd most important one for our company, and its final customer is the 1st one. Failing this meant 300 out of 800 people being without project).
Also we managed to have a decent number of CANCase and power supplies thanks to about half of the working force, me included, resigning. Six months ago there were fourteen engineers and three sets of test hardware but only two prototype boards.

That's right. Managers of all departments, except IT, have been told to send their people to IT to get laptops and work from home.
We get to stay and keep the company running.
Maybe we will get enough time now without people showing up at our desks all the time to get some real work done.

Yes or partially?
I've gone 100% as have some of my coworkers, but a lot of other people are still choosing to go into the office.

Not working from home yet, though myself and many of the others are supplied equipment to do so. Gym is still open, but no day passes are being sold to the general public. There's just a larger push to keep the equipment clean. I have reduced the contact my young kids have with the public, but that's about the only personal change.

We got the memo late afternoon yesterday. I come in before 6AM, as does my PM. I was told to work from home tomorrow. May leave early today if no one else shows up.

This sounded so much like my own situation I've actually just checked our Corporate directory to see if we worked at the same place!

I work on CP and GitHub stuff at home because I'm basically retired.
But my fitness club (the largest chain in Canada) just closed until further notice. I stopped going a month ago just in case.
And the tennis pro with whom I hit is stuck in Majorca with his family.

written Mallorca, yes - but pronounced as Majorca that's absolutely correct 
"ll" = "j" in spanish
That's true even for Tortillas

It's often written Majorca in English so that there's a hope of people pronouncing it correctly.

And I was always told that we were villains changing "New York" to "Nueva York" and many other times people complaining, names don't change...
I see... we are all equal, but some are more equal

That's "new" for me
I ask genuinely curious, why "new Amsterdam"?

Yes, it's probably "neue" for you!
From Wikipedia:
New York City traces its origins to a trading post founded by colonists from the Dutch Republic in 1624 on Lower Manhattan; the post was named New Amsterdam in 1626.

You can also find this back in the name of parts of New York. Brooklyn = Breukelen, Harlem = Haarlem, Flushing = Vlissingen, Wall Street = the original wall around the dutch city etc. One of the Dutch governors was Peter Stuyvesant (same as from the cigarettes).
