      if anyone's interested, here are some of the questions (none of them answered) from our company meeting about this

      What if there’s no direct benefit of attending the site? e.g. my coworkers are at a different site

      literally me (and by the sounds of it, a lot more people working here), hence why i’ve been allowed to wfh so far

      Can you quantify the reduced productivity that you say you’re seeing?

      they can’t quantify shit, in the same meeting they were discussing rising profits ffs

      Will there be exceptions for neurodivergent individuals?

      maybe, if they’ve spent hundreds of dollars on a diagnosis (still need to test this myself however)

      Covid hasn’t gone away, people are still dying from it. What steps will <company> take to make sure the more crowded workspaces are safe?

      fuck all. they don’t give a shit if their actions cause further deaths if it can save them some money

      bonus:

      It’s not hard to work in the office. We did it prior to covid and 5 days a week!

I always hated masc business casual, turns out I love wearing a floral print shirt, some jewelry, and a mid length skirt and heels. I shouldve figured

        thanks for the tips! was shopping all day and just got back with a few things so i should be sorted now (assuming i can match with some existing pieces i have). i always struggled with masc formal as well, the most well-dressed i would ever do would be a collared tee + jeans and that never felt right. today was really fun though! my partner’s mum joined us and gave me a bunch of advice. i’m still really stressed about going in tomorrow but at least i won’t be focusing on my outift

      A blouse, blazer, and skirt/slacks should get you far. Plus the most important bit of office clothing — a well-fitted N95 mask with a good seal on your face!
