Good reminder, again, that we are not simply in a work from home environment. We are in a global pandemic with a mandated quarantine.
In the past, it was reasonable to expect people to stay more or less productive throughout the workday. It’s not anymore. That’s not because people are lazy or taking advantage or somehow not understanding what work you expect of them. It’s because there is a global pandemic that has changed everyone’s reality. It needs to change yours too.
This is a different thing entirely, and we all need to work together and be agile and empathetic to the needs of our teams.
