<strong> Covid is running amok in the office. </strong> <strong> One guy in my department came into work with Covid symptoms and succeeded in taking out the entire department </strong> with the exception of myself. <strong> I was "lucky" enough to have been home, </strong> in isolation, due to another possible exposure. I tested negative on that day and was in work the next day. Stupid! My department team lead, after testing positive, called the senior partner of our company and <strong> begged him to instigate a testing requirement, a vax mandate, or at the very least, a mask mandate. </strong> Now, <strong> I have never seen a mask on any of the partners. </strong> In fact, I'm sure that only one or two of them are even vaccinated. (This is Utah, after all.) So, as you can imagine, </strong> they didn't instigate any kind of mandate. </strong> What they did do was send out an email to the company requesting us all to be respectful to those who wish to wear masks in the office. I am so frustrated right now! <strong> I'm alone in my department, doing the work of seven and getting flak from leadership because I'm falling behind. </strong> I don't know what to do, <strong> maybe I wasn't so "lucky" after all. </strong>
