That's only because they want control.
"Wanting control" is in direct opposition to "running a business."
Putting control in front of profits and business is definitively anti-business. Which is my point... hobby behaviour, not business behaviour.
Oh yes, I am agreeing with you
but that is the case for a lot of business which is not right. -
@siringo said in What Are You Doing Right Now:
this is why letting people work out of the office upsets some managers, you're taking away their control, by removing their ability to oversee staff.
That's not really it. I don't think. I think it exposes that their jobs were unneeded and that they don't' have any skills or value. Being exposed makes people upset.

Sitting in an empty office building, listening to a conference call. My presence is required on the call, but my participation was limited to 5 minutes about an hour and half ago. Nobody ordered work snacks since everyone is work from home.

Hang in there, maybe distract yourself

@travisdh1 I had to reroute some point to point fiber in one of the server racks, so my presence really was required, but this conference call is just pure sadism on the devs part.

I'm the consultant, so on prem is great

Compiling final info on EMV (chip card readers) for outside fuel dispenser upgrades. Flying brand flags makes things so needlessly complex. We have 4 brands across 9 locations. Two are really great to work with, the other two? Meh.
It could always be worse. I could be lumped in with a massively huge group of unemployed. Blessings counted. -

you're not hoarding are you?

Is it considered hording if you maintain a 3 month supply at all times, not just when pandemics are about?

I'd call it a fire hazard.

Amazon Subscribe and Save of TP and Paper Towels, before any of this pandemic even started. More is ordered than I actually use, so I have a nice stock. So I had extra and I did not need to be the horders going to the store.
I found two packages of 24 rolls of TP under my guest bath sink.
Winning!

Also....
Why does Netops and Sysops teams always seem to be oil and water? Sure does put the CIO in a bad spot trying to play babysitter. -

He's part of the group of people that's responsible for culture in a company (all C-execs) and if his teams don't work together, then his teams don't work. If he doesn't realize this, he (or she) needs to get out of management.
