[quote=Anonymous]I work as a clinical supervisor for counselors at a long-term care facility. I was able to WFH for a few months while my counselors I supervise continued to go in person to provide (modified) services for the residents. I was asked to return to work 2 weeks ago (no good rationale other than our President and CEO are “worried about people WFH in the summer”). So I returned to work without questioning it, wasn’t too worried—but now there is another outbreak in two of our buildings; 15+ clients and staff have contracted it, with one being hospitalized. Granted, I don’t work out of either of those buildings (we have 5 residential buildings within a few Miles of each other) but staff come and go between those buildings and the one I’m in. There were 2 positive cases in the very beginning from my building but none since. My question is: would you put up a fight to WFH knowing the conditions and the new article that the CDC came out with? I’m generally not a worrier about physical health/sickness stuff but my husband is very angry that I wouldn’t ask to WFH still. 
*side note: I’ve grown closer to my boss over the last few months and she also is semi-dismissive of the virus. I feel like it will be awkward and she will think I’m hypocritical (knowing I’ve gone to Target and my hair salon but wouldn’t be willing to go to work) if I talk to her about it. WWYD?[/quote]
