If you figure it out please let us know.What I’m trying to figure out is how to sign up for the study, where you turn off Facebook for 6 weeks before the election, and they pay you to do it.

It’s going to vary geographically. For example, MSU is putting kids in a 14 day quarantine.
I really think this is a terrible year to send kids to university. We should be through most of this by the next school year.
I’ve seen posts that have said that they don’t tell their employers where they are going when they take vacation. Not necessarily that they lie about where they have been. But on the other hand I could totally see people doing just that.

It is up to each individual company what their policy is. Right now with reopenings occurring it will also depend likely on the person's position. Working from home with no exposure to coworkers? In the office but required to wear masks? In the office but no masks required? And so on. Those can all impact a company's policy as it applies to a particular person.I’ve seen posts that have said that they don’t tell their employers where they are going when they take vacation.

When you say you're going away for a week or two its fairly standard for anyone from family/friends/employer/hairdressers etc to ask where they are going?The thread was about people feeling shamed for going on any vacation, so they just didn't tell people on social media. They didn't "lie".
So in other words you lied about people lying?When you say you're going away for a week or two its fairly standard to ask where they are going?
So at that point they either say and so DO tell, or they lie. Or you quickly change the subject I guess.
Either way, its pretty deceitful.
In my opinion no.So in other words you lied about people lying?
That is not the case. It used to be much more common back in march but no not ALL employers want to knowRight not I'm fairly sure all employers will want to know where you are going if you want a week off.
That's a yes/no question not an opinion-driven one with all due respect. You cannot say "they lie about where they are going on vacation. There was a whole long thread about it a while ago where people admitted to lying rather than admit they were going to a covid hotspot." and then spin it as "in your opinion". If you're talking about a different thread than the shaming one please let me know.In my opinion no.
I cant imagine working for a manager who you don't engage in the slightest bit of casual conversation of why you want a few days off. Weird.That is not the case. It used to be much more common back in march but no not ALL employers want to know
If my husband told his boss right now "I'm taking off next week" (assuming he actually got the time because that would be rare at this present moment with how busy work is, anywho) he'd be like great but why are you telling me this. His boss is busy with the details in building a $700+ million dollar power plant not the details in knowing where he is going.
There isn't the same policy that was in places months and months ago. Same for my mom's company in which she is still working from home and hasn't been into the office since March (and isn't expected to be in the office til next year). She took off last week from work. All she did was stay at home but no her company didn't ask "are you going somewhere? If so where?" nor did they have a policy in place where they wanted to know.

Covid numbers are dropping in our area. Our hospital, which serves a wide rural and city area, has closed it's covid rooms and reverted them back to regular ICU rooms. There have been no cases for a while now!
Many companies employ a don't ask don't tell. When I worked at the insurance company they could not deny time off no matter the reason so long as it was available. The time was PTO and it was written into the policy that it's not their business where you go. If you wanted to go shopping so be it. When I worked retail shopping under normal circumstances would have meant I couldn't have gotten the time off because it was deemed you were not available for a weak reason. Different policies for different companies.I cant imagine working for a manager who you don't engage in the slightest bit of casual conversation of why you want a few days off. Weird.
Nothing to "try again" because you're wrong about my intentions.Many companies employ a don't ask don't tell.

Now for COVID if it's the policy at that time you should abide by it. You seem to object on a moral level, and I'm not here to debate that, but don't confuse moral level for actual dealings someone has with their company which is what you were doing. It's not up to US what someone's company policy is nor what their expectation or norm is. Your "engage in slight conversation stuff" was just your way to divert the conversation to something else instead of what was being discussed. That was easy to see through, please try again.
That wasn't the conversation though, was it? You side-stepped the actual conversation, latched on to something else and made a judgment on that. I give examples for two companies that were not interested in where you went and instead of seeing that you decide to go with the discussion of "that's weird" as a tangent because they weren't interested. You think they should care but we were discussing the statement you made that all employers would want to know.Nothing to "try again" because you're wrong about my intentions.
I'm just saying working for a manager who doesn't engage in any non work conversations with you would be weird. I couldn't work for someone like that.

I may have not have my coffee this morning but I'm still engaged enough here In any case done here because I'm not interested in that circle today. Have a good rest of your day!

You guys appear to have a better memory than me. I remember a member saying her family caught Covid at WDW. She told the companies that needed to know, but they chose to quarantine & not tell anyone else, because their family & friends had given them a hard time about choosing to go to Disney, during the pandemic. Do you remember what thread that post was in? Not that it really matters, but it would answer the question of a poster on this thread who hadn't heard of anyone getting Covid at WDW. I'm guessing her family isn't the only one that didn't admit to family, friends or tracers (if there was one) that they got Covid, while travelling.I thought that was the thread the poster was talking about which is why I asked them which one they were talking about so I could make sure I was remembering correctly. That thread was NOT about lying.
Well TBH COVID is part of your medical history so I don't think anyone needs to feel like you need to admit to your family and friends so long as you're staying away from them and for sure don't go out and about in the public while you're still considered contagious. As far as where you got it if contact tracing has determined it was from travel there ya go but otherwise it's still fairly difficult to pinpoint in most cases. TBH I'm always amazed when you read about events in the news where they've been able to do that robust contact tracing and pinpoint it down to the best of their ability. That's why whenever I read the cluster summary for my state (which now they give the locations and the names of those places) I take that with the dose of reality that the bulk of the cases are still not from identifiable clusters.I'm guessing her family isn't the only one that didn't admit to family, friends or tracers (if there was one) that they got Covid, while travelling.
At least they quarantined. They told their company (which sounds like they were supposed to based on your comment of needed to know) and they chose to quarantine. Sounds like a good example to me. It doesn't bother me personally if they didn't disclose to their family and friends. They stayed away from folks.I remember a member saying her family caught Covid at WDW.

That was the point of the shaming thread. The intent of that thread wasn't that people were lying (which is what got the conversation going). That thread was supposed to be a spot where people could largely go for a less judgmental tone. FWIW I remember all the talk when Irma was going on. People sought out certain threads where they didn't get the whole "you're taking away gas and food and hotel space from Floridians how dare you, you're awful, etc" despite the fact that most of those posters didn't have a clue what the other posters plans were.not tell anyone else, because their family & friends had given them a hard time about choosing to go to Disney, during the pandemic.
I don't doubt that someone has gotten it at some point there. I don't doubt that someone has gotten it from a grocery store either. But to answer your question I don't remember reading someone getting it from WDW here. Admittedly most of my threads haven't been about WDW travel at the moment other than seeing in passing people mention they still have trips planned, went on trips (and from what they wrote it went well) or just discussing WDW COVID procedures in general. It's also possible I read it but have forgottenDo you remember what thread that post was in? Not that it really matters, but it would answer the question of a poster on this thread who hadn't heard of anyone getting Covid at WDW.
