[quote=The-Shoveler]Went into the Office today (first time since January),
About half the people that were normally here are present.
Learning/hearing about several people in other departments that retired over the last two years, kind of interesting really.
Feels weird dressing up and going in LOL.[/quote]
Some people probably revisited that life is precious and the thought of being unlucky and dying from covid, some people probably decided to retire early and enjoy life.
Lots of school teachers retired.
Also, even dealing with robotics teams, a lot of good robotics team retired because their mentors decided to “retire” and there’s 1-2 years of knowledge gap with seniors leaving before transitioning knowledge to younger kids during the pandemic, and some teams will have to rebuild from scratch…
I made it clear I will not travel for business for some time. A lot of people said the same thing. The last time they tried to have a senior leadership meeting in Florida with all the senior managers from all our locations, a few folks from UK flew into Florida and they ended up all getting covid. Since then, there is no requirement for engineering leadership since then.
