>>13912637Same here. In the early months of 2020, I was already distancing from others in public. I didn't see how masks could be effective, so I didn't wear one and at that time, very few were wearing them yet anyway. My boss wanted to send me to San Francisco to a conference for a week, which is something I wouldn't want to do during normal times but especially not at the start of a pandemic that appeared much more deadly than it actually turned out to be. He also wanted all of us to go to an awards ceremony in a crowded hotel ballroom. I gave a big NOPE on that one.
Luckily we were already remote workers though there was talk of bringing us back into the office for "comradery". Covid ended that talk for good. Even now there's no talk of pushing us back into the office, probably because the boss is an old boomer on the edge of retiring so avoiding the Shanghai Shivers is likely more important to him than getting to see off all "my guys" being busy bees in an office.
