Oh yeah, it's a secret.

...for exploding planes in the middle of a global pandemic!

In the meanwhile, assembling airplanes at union scale with union benefits, it's not a bad way.

Solidarity forever!

I would not call those employees "slaves".

Keep their R&D going, but empty planes are parked all over the world.

to go.

Hey they are probably going to take everyone's temperature which should make workers feel at ease. I have always wondered what was considered too high a temperature - 98.7? 98.9? Maybe they are going to actually test all 27,000?

Working from home is good for productivity, morale, and reduces the cost of commuting to work, and reduces the demand for commercial real estate. It's cheaper than renting office space. Travel is expensive. Companies will figure this all out, and it will lead to permanent changes in working and living. It will prove far more efficient than past ways of doing things.

Don't get me wrong, my company has been great and was ready to ramp up to telecommuting right away. And I already telecommuted one or two days a week.

But I am working in an apartment, and my morale is terrible. I don't have a balcony. I don't have a deck. We do have a sort of pathway we can walk on which is nice, but we're not supposed to sit on the benches, so I can't just sit outside. We have to avoid all of our neighbors, and we can't even pet their dogs.

This morning, in the corner where I work, I could tell by the sun coming in the window that I'll have to work with the shades drawn for most of the day in summer, because it's going to get hot (apartments in Seattle don't have air conditioning).

My morale is at a low point and dipping.

No co-workers trying to stab you in the back to get ahead, no boss to answer to at every moment, no lunching with the boss and the group and eating something you don't like. There are positives, though you have to look for them, as well as negatives I'm sure.

It sounds as if you need a different job with nicer coworkers.

We have constant online meetings (well, more than usual), so I'm not out of the reaches of my bosses.

However, being trapped in an apartment with no deck or balcony is a huge issue, and maybe one you don't have to deal with. And there are people in Seattle in micro-housing who have it worse than I do.

People in apartments are far more dependent on open spaces than people in houses with yards or who are in neighborhoods, and they recently close many of our parks so people wouldn't congregate.

Going to test those thousands that walk in and out of the door each day?

disaster waiting to happen.
