How is the coronavirus pandemic affecting your life right now? Tell us about your experiences, feelings, and thoughts.

Covid is running amok in the office. One guy in my department came into work with Covid symptoms and succeeded in taking out the entire department with the exception of myself. I was "lucky" enough to have been home, in isolation, due to another possible exposure. I tested negative on that day and was in work the next day. Stupid! My department team lead, after testing positive, called the senior partner of our company and begged him to instigate a testing requirement, a vax mandate, or at the very least, a mask mandate. Now, I have never seen a mask on any of the partners. In fact, I'm sure that only one or two of them are even vaccinated. (This is Utah, after all.) So, as you can imagine, they didn't instigate any kind of mandate. What they did do was send out an email to the company requesting us all to be respectful to those who wish to wear masks in the office. I am so frustrated right now! I'm alone in my department, doing the work of seven and getting flak from leadership because I'm falling behind. I don't know what to do, maybe I wasn't so "lucky" after all.
