I also remember my then employer doing the same, and citing the government guidance as the reason. I’m sure lots of employers did it: their staff pleading not to be forced into the office, but the sluggish government response kept everyone going in anyway.

Are people ever going to tire of reworking this boring, implausible fess?
3 years ago, company laid off lots of people. I was selected for possible redundancy. HR person couldn't cope & quit. Their replacement from Accounts never continued my consultation, I was forgotten. My manager got laid off. I've never had any work since but still get paid.

I hear they’re going to do a prequel to Better Call Saul set in Philadelphia, showing the early days of the Ehrmentraut family, just as soon as they can find a suitable 14-year old girl to cast as Kaylee.
