Happening right now. Immunocompromised infant in the ICU. Company leaders last week while in ER and hospital admission: "what can we do for you; anything you need; what do you need?" This week, now that we know our needs: "yeah, remote work doesn't fit our culture."

I'm in I.T. Fuck me for wanting to keep my kid from dying from a common cold.

I'm sorry you're going through that

Thanks. We'll manage; I'll walk in masked, and don gloves if anyone hands me a device. There's a strong anti-mask, anti-vaccination ethos around here. I'll be a pain in the ass.
