Default Are things getting tense at your essential job?

We just had the safety department head walk through our office area to cut through and go to her office area. Our office area is for Area managers and tech support and chemical support specialists. Someone mentioned as she passed through that this isn't a short cut and only people with business in here are authorized in this office.

She came back into our office a few minutes later with tears in her eyes and yelling that we needed to be nicer in trying times like this. She was nearly hysterical and wouldn't let anyone get a word in edge wise.

The thing is since this virus thing has started they have shifted all the contact between our company personnel and contractors we do business with to our office. While lessening contact between the control rooms. This has effectively doubled the traffic in my office area. Since we are also the more experienced personnel we also tend to be the older personnel. This has shifted the exposure risk to our office of higher risk personnel. Needless to say we are not to happy about people traipsing in and out unnecessarily. I see some inter office rivalry coming up in our next meetings.

The reason we are all here vice working from home is the field work element of the job. Someone has to keep the plant running.

Have any of you been experiencing emotional outbursts from co-workers?

My wife about 2 seconds from putting a couple useless fuks at work into a wood chipper...
Her stress level has about doubled from useless and uncooperative people.

Maybe she could make a #Kettleofwaste to offer up as a symbolic truce to the current state of office warfare?

We now have mandatory temp taking by contracted med personnel before entry. I then get a daily new sticky on my badge to say I'm a good boy.

For me, I like that to keep the sick fukkers away. Don't @ me asymptomatic douches.

Hey, here's you chance for some free time off. If they aren't taking your temp rectally this is easy to get away with.

Woman that works for me had a meltdown in the break room yesterday. I wasn't in the office; HR manager called me to tell me.

Her kids are home from school and driving her nuts.

Otherwise no issues; it's pretty quiet in the office.

If the Kettle of Waste was the only cure for COVID-19, how many millions would die?

They're being really good to us, so no. Also, I'm the boss so they have to be nice to me.

Now, one of the other branches, not so much. The SHTF yesterday and nobody will say what happened. Whatever it was, it was B I G.
