Workforce statement and memo to employees.
  1. I am directing most employees to work from home tomorrow, Wednesday, February 7, so everyone can be in a safe, comfortable environment on a stressful day. Most individuals will not be able to enter the Lab during this mandatory remote work day. A Lab access list has been created and those who will have access will be notified by email shortly. If you do not receive an email instructing you to be on Lab, please plan to work remotely, regardless of your telework agreement status. In addition, and to ensure we have everyone’s accurate contact information, I am also asking everyone to please review and update your personal email and phone number in Workday today.

I don't think I've ever seen a company or organization that had mandatory remote work day outside of really crazy weather during the peak of Covid. Perhaps it's to protect the equipment from distraught or disgruntled employees?

    The other common one and my last company did this shit to me was they give you a week long vacation along with some other workers for no reason and they keep extending it, then bam fired.

      I'm just a cashier and that's a super common one, along with 'hmm only 4 hrs this month, well okay then'. They fired like 4 people at a really small store right before holidays at my job doing the vacation thing + 4 hrs a month.
