S1E8 - The Return to the Covid Workplace

Firstly, I have to address that if you’re the type of person that has been working remotely at a job and now has to go back...you are incredibly privileged to be doing so.  There are so many people who had to either work through the pandemic as part of their job or due to the service they provide.  I am truly thankful for all the workers that put themselves at risk to serve society.

How to return to the workplace during Covid:

  1. Before going back, acknowledge the fears/hang-ups you have, write them down and try to see them from a different perspective.
  2. Be open to a level of disgruntled and irritation upon being forced back to the office, but don’t let that attitude hurt your career.
  3. Ask for flexibility and what is possible.
  4. Understanding the “Why”, and try to ensure you get a clear understanding of the “why”
  5. Compassion for coworkers who are making different decisions than you.
  6. Personal safety in the workplace
    1. PPE (Personal protective equipment)
    2. Cleaning supplies
    3. Office arrangement and placement
    4. Desk location and avoiding communal spaces
    5. Remember that people are having a hard time all over, and to be grateful that you had the chance to do your job from home while so many more people never got that chance.
