[quote=Anonymous]OP you're totally entitled to feel the way you feel. But be careful about expressing these feelings to others. My employment is secure, my kids are old enough not to be a total nightmare for us to be WFH. But even for me, I can't escape a sense of much wider tragedy - my family in NYC who are cooped up and really frightened, the millions of people who are losing jobs and whose lives have become infinitely harder overnight. My own organization is already belt tightening; I'm spending my days making lists for possible layoffs. So yes, even though I'm not personally impacted in a very negative way, I feel sick over all of this - and when an acquaintance happily told me how lovely it is to spend so much time with her husband and kids, riding bikes and making pancakes, I wanted to throw up. And never socialize with someone so self-involved and clueless ever again. [/quote]
