Work condition in the midst of an outbreak

Yeah that’s our ultimate goal. We don’t want to lose job over this impending virus invasion. But the way its going on is crippling our office to be confined so the virus won’t Be able to spread further. It solely relies on human movement to transfer from one host to another.

@LadyDuck Restraining movements is one that can cripple our organization to operate normally.

@rsa101 It is important to avoid that it spreads, I think we must all be prepared to a little sacrifice.

Everyone is now home bound at the moment. Our place is literally on community quarantine now.

@simone10 well technically this is the first working day at home. I am not used to this arrangements yet.

@rsa101 Are you happy to be home?

We starred earlier than you are. I was hoping to work on a shortened work hours a day but then the community quarantine was implemented so here I am at home. We do weekly updates since we don’t have any control over what is happening the meeting just becomes more and more personal meeting than a formal ones.

@allen0187 That is really a good working arrangement withoutbyhe usual inconveniences like no public transpo and easy access to supplies.

@rsa101 our meetings are very informal unless there is a global manager around. Entering the third week and I'm getting the hang of it. WFH isn't so bad at all and given the choice, I'll pick it over reporting to an office every day.

Yeah everyone is affected by this virus. The only solution for this is really quarantine and stop human movement since yhe virus relies on that to spread itself. With the absence of vaccine and medical intervention to stop them we have come to this kind of situation that we have to stop.

@Hanyouyomi i can but i want to audition to bigger studios and join the union

@CaptAlbertWhisker You can't record lines from scripts and send them to the studio via e-mail?

Yes our commuting employees are at high risk of exposure to the virus. That is what we want to address to right now.

Yeah I am sad to know that even your vibrant city like yours is taken hostage by that virus. . I saw your place as very nice place but I couldn’t imagine it that city would be stopped or slowed down by this virus outbreak.

@DianneN That is true tourism is the first casualty in this crisis. Entertainment industry follows as the world become restrictive most concerts, live gatherings and even shootings are postponed to apply the social distancing being encourage at this point.

@rsa101 Lots of things have shut down such as sports, Broadway, etc. What a mess the economy is going to be in.

Slowing down the movement of people should make it hard for the virus to spread further.

It’s something new to me since i feel I am doing nothing and just waits for any updates from my work. Although office is not expecting anything from me at this point in time.

Yes, our boss is very concerned and is thinking of ways to let the operation slow down but the employees continue to work. But that is for the short term period if this goes for a much longer time we really do not know how we will cope with that. We might adopt a much harder policy to stay afloat.

@JudyEv Yes that is sad to know.

@rsa101 It's going to be the same all over the world. It's a real catastrophe. I wonder what would happen if they just let it take its course? I don't really think that is an option - certainly not a good one.

Yes were on our eight day already. The government had made it to a month long copying what they had done in Wuhan where they have entirely lockdown everyone in their houses. Outs is just lighter since we can still go out to buy our groceries and supplies and the banks, groceries and pharmacy remain open.

@rsa101 Yeah, banks, groceries, and supply stores are still open here in the States too, and everyone's shopping like it's the Apocalypse which is annoying. But I'm not surprised by the lack or rationale... Americans were bred to panic at the site of disaster, though I'm certain I'm not alone in feeling at ease amidst this madness.

Were still work in progress on that since we have different roles have different needs in our work so it’s difficult to create one size fits all policy for everyone.

@rsa101 I hope you can come up with a conclusion soon. Designs that would fit for the individuals role.

@ZedSmart yup we’re hoping that we can find a cost effective ways to maintain what we have right now.

Same here. major events cancelled already especially those that involve human crowding.

@rsa101 Take care.

Our company promised to pay us full salaries for the month and even scheduled early release of 13th mo to make employees have money for the duration of the quarantine period. We just hoe this would not last longer.

We are taking all that we can to be safe here. Proper hygiene and avoiding social contact is the least that we can do right now.

That is because there is no way to stop the spread. If you lwt people keep on moving they will continue to spread like wildfire. I right mow at the supermarket and there is a long line already. This is the first time I experienced this in my life living here.

@rappeter13 Yes I was hesitant to go there but we need to have our supplies for the week. So we have no choice but to join in and get our supplies needed. It took us 1.5 hours to just pay in the cashier. That was the longest shopping we have there:

@rsa101 Yes, it is a madness in the supermarkets. But, if you don't close supermarkets down, you did nothing. That is the place where everybody wants to go.

Yeah but its hard to really formulate since not all are fitted to a certain working condition that can be applied to everyone.

We have finally have a work a home agreement settled but the condition is that he/she must always be available anytime online. They may be required to report to work if necessary, the cost of internet will be shouldered by the employee, any damage incurred on the company equipment will not be shouldered by the company and will be charge to the user. No overtime may be requested during WAH arrangement even they spent over eight hours period. A written accomplishment report will be submitted to HR to use as basis for their attendace failure to do so will imply that they are on awol and will be sanctioned accordingly. This agreement will be signed on a written contract approved by their supervisor and submitted to HR as well for attendance monitoring purposes.
