But to be honest, I did go in the office yesterday....it was a ghost town. Boss was there and a few others. They either live close by or the type of people who don't like WFH.

I wouldn't be surprised in a week or two it becomes mandatory until this blows out of So Cal.

All the corporate head honcho's have dispersed across the country and working in satellite offices. So if it does go south in a really bad way, the entire leadership isn't out of commission.

It was supposed to be just two weeks - OhZone Mar 2020 #1
