I'm loosely interpreting here but, basically my wife wanted to make a policy about internal hiring (promotions) to be available for all employees to see. She's in HR, She's the generalist and her boss is the boss (obv). Her boss felt that giving internal employees a "jump" over external was favoritism and wanted to keep the policy private. All it does is outline the process so they know what to expect.Any examples?My wife came home an hour early today. Said her boss put her on an action plan because she feels that my wife doesn't respect her and hurts her feelings. I couldn't imagine how incompetent of a manager you have to be to take your own employee to both of your managing director over hurt feelings and that your employee "doesn't stick up for you". Working from home for the past 3 months has shown me that she's an ineffective boss, communicator, leader.

Oh, another time, a position was posted and her boss told her to "handle it" because she didn't feel that she should be involved in hiring a position at that (low of) a level. Which would be true, but, why bother putting it that way?

I was in office during the first shutdown since I was considered essential, but then they opened things up in June so we had split A/B teams. Split teams complied with the 50 people in one building standard that was put out.I've been home since March. My office was on phase 2 of a 4 phase return to office plan. That plan was just postponed indefinitely.annnnnnnnnnnnd I'm back to working from home again.
When this latest update came out, our company seemed to make it a little more strict than the original stay-at-home order. So I had one person tell me to be there today (that was a different email that was sent after the WFH order) and another tell me it's work from home. I'm heading in right now and hopefully should have a better idea within a half hour or so.

My company had to lay 20 salary positions off. Oil and gas isn't a great market to be in, might be need to jump ship soon.

I know there are many sectors in oil and gas, but fuel prices here are bonkers. They were bumping up close to $2 again, and now are down to $1.80. Sam's/Murphy lower than that.

SC always has the cheapest gas. Why is that? Low state gas taxes?I know there are many sectors in oil and gas, but fuel prices here are bonkers. They were bumping up close to $2 again, and now are down to $1.80. Sam's/Murphy lower than that.

Prices here in Pittsburgh never dropped that much. I think at the lowest by local BP station was down to maybe $2.20, and it's currently varying slightly between $2.45 and $2.49.

I sneak over the border to SC for gas once in a while. And NC gas is super cheap compared to most other states, but SC is consistently 15 to 20 cents cheaperYes, the taxes were raised a few years ago but still among the lowest.SC always has the cheapest gas.

We had non-Sams Club prices almost break $2 when the shutdown first started. A few stations down the road from me were going around 2.05-2.09. Sam's got down to 1.89 at one point but has since jumped back up to 2.34.Prices here in Pittsburgh never dropped that much.

Oh yeah, so it turns out that I do have to be in the office.Well?
By the looks of the the sign-in sheet, it's me, the VP, the one person whose team has to be online 24/7, and in a few hrs the lady who works the front desk, so it's four of us.

$2.40 in Beaver Falls, $1.99 across the state line in East Palestine, Ohio. I don't think it went below $2.20 here either.

I wonder how long it will be before they can open up high rise office buildings. We have probably 10 floors in a 49 story tower in downtown Houston. Those elevators are always jammed 7-9 AM, 11 AM-1 PM, and 3-6 PM. You can take the stairs but that only works if you have a few floors to climb.
Between controlling spread and just employees generally being as or more successful in a WFH environment the big downtown skyscraper may never be the same.

If a company says they will get back to you at the "end of July", when is the best time to follow up? August?
