It is one thing to determine what has to be done to an office. It will take them all summer to actually redesign it.S.H.I. HQs are in Somerset, about 3,000 people. Their lot is still empty (nobody takes a bus there). They are not allowed back to work until September, and must be individually cleared to do it. They were never good about tele-commuting before. Even then, 50% will come to work Mon and Wed, 50% will come to work Tues & Thus, and each group alternate Friday. Ditto for Rutgers staff in September in Newark, New Brundwick, and Camden. My Merrill Lynch wealth management staff has about 400 people in the Metlife(PanAm) building. Even in September, building management does not know what to do. For a 55 story building, for social distancing, it will take 5 hours to fill the building in the AM and 5 hours to evacuate in the PM. How does that work with rush hours and normal workdays, or there is a fire drill, or fire alarm ? It doesn't. Most will have to tele-commute until there is a vax, then put up with the shitheads who refuse to get one. |
