A Silver Lining

Because at least a couple of the techs that have large offices close to my office (Amazon and Facebook) decided to tell their employees to work from home today, it was perhaps the best Thursday commute I’ve ever had – traditionally the worst day of the week by far.  I think they’ve been told to not come in until at least the end of March.  No official word from our company, one way or the other – which shows a very disappointing lack of responsibility and leadership.  So I will continue coming into the office until I’m told I can’t.  But definitely strange times.  The office was quarter to half full today – and absolutely none of my Chinese colleagues were in the office.  I do expect/fear further disruption.
