guys i just want to share this amazing story:
Wednesday 3/11: the head of our office sends out an email. reminds everyone that not only is all business travel suspended, but we also need to let him know if we are planning to do ANY travelling of any kind. Where we are going, how long we are planning to be there, etc.
Later in the email basically suggesting that this is all an over-hyped distraction, the office remains open, everyone needs to continue to be productive. Last sentence of email kinda slides it in there that he's going to be on PTO the rest of the week and to contact his AA about any questions.
Monday 3/16: he is back in the office. reminding everyone that the office is still open until further notice. Also sends out email saying that any large meetings and lunch and learns are to be cancelled and that the company will not be paying for any catered lunches. Uses special code words like "use your best judgment" with regard to WFH. Encourages anyone with questions to feel free to stop by his office to talk, he'll be in the office all day.
2 hours later: he is in conference room with many people. lunch is catered. total stud/boss power move imo.
Tuesday 3/17: He sends email letting everyone know that he will be working from home because per a directive from the governor of colorado - anyone who visited a colorado ski resort last week should isolate themselves. He assures everyone that he feels fine.
I see a lot of memes captioned <screaming inside> and i'm really feeling that rn
