I think that's one of the big problems when it comes to working for Johnson and Johnson. They'll have these sessions where they ask for employee feedback, and plenty of employees open up and say "yeah, this is a bad idea for these reasons, let's not do it" and they go ahead and do it anyway.

Although considering how things are looking in China right now... seems like another variant is right around the corner.
Oh man yeah. It's all people talk about right now. How we've all (speaking simply I guess) have been working from home these past few years. Some people just don't want to go back to the office cause of it. While we do have to get over it and understand, yeah we do. Covid can just as easily catch back up on us and get really bad again. Like you said, just look at China now. Its highest case count since Omicron came out.

I have a bad feeling there will be a large uptick here after Masters week. Lately though it hasn't been too bad here. Gas prices have escalate up to $4.79 at its highest. Recently it dropped back down to $3.49. Which I'm super thankful for. Just gotta be willing to drive a little further. Since it's only a few gas stations. You can see one at $3.49 and just past it along the road all the way to the highway it's still $3.99. Pretty big difference.

I agree with you though. These companies need to listen and understand more. A 3 day office week is annoying, but at least you're still saving gas money those days. Enjoy it while it still lasts!
