Are you working remotely ?
- Thread starter HGoat1
- Start date
Most of the way through our first company wide WFH day and VPN seems to be doing just fine. Though one has to think there Friday before spring break around here probably isn't a heavy load. May not know until after break if there are going to be performance problems.
We're now mandatory work from home until the end of March.
Back in the day when I was 100% remote I went 10 full days without wearing a shirt.
Seems like a challenge. A record to break!

I haven't ever had remote access in 17 years at my company but was forced to order it Monday just in case. About 90% of what I do though I have to be in the office for as I literally support the hardware people work on in the office so only thing I really can do from home is do some basic remote troubleshooting if the machine is still able to boot up and get a network connection. Unless there is a community spread of COVID-19 in the DM Metro I don't anticipate having to work from home. My wife has remote access and can work from home on an as needed basis so she may potentially have to if they deem it necessary. Right now it's been business as usual here for now.
I will be for the next several weeks. Working out details now on how to move all my lecture based courses online.
Fun fun!

Update - the bigwigs for our company are meeting to discuss options on Monday. My guess is that if any confirmed cases pop up in the metro DM area between now and then it'll be mandatory WFH for some of us.
After driving past a car accident yesterday, I thought "now is not a good time to have to be in hospital" so today and probably in the future I'll work from home. Why take the risks?
While I could do a good portion of my job remotely, I have to support superintendents and craft out in the field on a construction site, so I'll be in to the office until the entire project gets shut down.
It's a small office so the exposure isn't horrible.

Nothing formal from my company yet, but I'm planning on this being my last day in the office for a couple weeks.
I work at a utility and they sent "non essentials" home Wednesday. I hate it! My wife was ordered to work from home for the next month. She loves it.
I'll head back to the office Monday UNLESS ordered not to or there is any kind of exposure threat.

I work for a civil engineering firm in Rogers, Arkansas and they're getting things set up network-wise to accommodate the whole office. I took the laptop home possibly anticipating it going down.
Walmart Corporate in Bentonville sent all their employees home today to work remotely.
