Regarding return to office policy, I hear many speculations and reasons hypothesized. Mostly by employees who don’t really know and who had no choice in it.
I would like to know is if there are any lemmings out there who have been involved in these talks.
What was discussed?
How is something like this coordinated amongst others businesses even rivals.
What are the high level factors that have gone into the decision?
Bonus points: is it even possible for employees to prevent or reverse these policies at this point?
What’s the symptom?
In all honesty could you imagine having like a young daughter with anaphylaxis and how much safer she is knowing there’s no nuts in her camps or school? And the cost is literally something so very simple. I get the wanting some freedoms and not wanting to be told what to do. But we’re social creatures. Empathy is like our strength. I really reject the modern view of ultimate freedom at all costs even if the result is a greater negative in the world.
It would be easier and more effective to enforce people cleaning up after themselves, no matter the food involved. People should be cleaning up after themselves anyway. If an adult cannot do this in a shared space, I would be much more concerned about what that person does with more critical tasks.
That was the point I was attempting to make.
You can eat peanuts wherever you want, I’d probably avoid it on airplanes and other closed spaces. That said, people with deadly allergies need to be prepared. Mistakes happen.
We can have safety and freedom.
