Right on!!!! Alberta just entered the danger zone due to rising COVID cases. Perfect time for everyone to head back to the office! Yet another exemplary example of the stellar leadership at cenovus. Oh and communications/HR/management thank you for calling out all the “fear mongering”. How dare staff be concerned about their health and the well being of their families. “How dare you?” Sound familiar. Better get used to it.

There are many things in industry that have some level of risk. We manage it / reduce it a number of a different ways. Zero risk would require shutting in production completely. I see Covid-19 no different. If you are worried take your vitamins, eat healthy, maybe take a break from social media and follow the other mitigation’s in place. No one is forcing you to go downtown (yet) and if you are immune compromised you may fall in a different risk category than most people. Be glad operations folks put on their big boy/big girl pants and went to site and handled it otherwise production would be shut in, and it wouldn’t be 1 in 4 out of a job by Q12021 it would be 4 out of 4.
Our VP has told everyone that it’s expected to be in the office unless there is a reason not to come in.. even if you have a sick child at home..
Everyone feels the pressure.. there’s no phase in Or flexibility over here.. and people are very anxious about it
No matter how hard AP will try, VPs and Directors will never get it right.. or be consistent..
As far as I know return to work is not mandatory. My boss has told me to come in if I am comfortable but if not there is no pressure. I have also not been asked to come in everyday. We are picking a couple of days and then working the rest from home. Also has been made that I have family or medical issues that require me to work from home, that is fine too. To me this is a great approach and I have no complaints. I plan to be in for a few days and see how I feel. If all goes well I will be back in more frequently
People have every right to feel anxious just as people have every right to feel completely comfortable going in to work, out in public, or gathering with friends if that’s your choice. The key word is “choice”. Being asked to go back into work isn’t a choice, it’s a demand of the company, at a time when to some it doesn’t feel like the safest choice to make. To the guy accusing the poster of being a fear mongering hero, by all means you should go back in. I am glad you think it’s all overblown and you can go in living your life normally. Good for you. I wish I could forget it and push my anxiety aside but I can’t. To me the threat is real and I hate having to choose between my safety and my job. He reality is I need to make money to support my family, so I will go in. Whatever happens, happens I guess.
If people feel they’re more productive in the office or need it for their mental health so be it. Management shouldn’t be mandating return to the office unless they can make the case it’ll benefit productivity, which in most cases it won’t.
Right on brother!!! You are a fear mongering hero! There is no second wave, there was barely a first wave. Please use some of that CVE brain power to plot the Alberta data and come to your own conclusion from the evidence (that be the raw data) instead of listening to CBC or our untrustworthy government (who of course have our best interests at heart)
Working from home is great, and I'd like it to continue, but not at the expense of others mental health which has been destroyed by this thing that is being claimed to be a pandemic, which was really no worse than a bad flu season.
