Weird.
Sounds like those are the poeple they need to lose regardless of staffing. If they are anti science and anti medicine they have no business working in healthcare facilities.
While it no doubt sucks for you and your co-workers, your VP needs to put the health and well being of the employees above all else. Tough call but if he/she and the "leadership" felt it was unsafe, probably it was the right decision to cancel the outing.shindig wrote: ↑Wed Aug 11, 2021 7:48 am Was supposed to go the Royals-Yankees afternoon game in our corporate suite today.

Yeah I agree. I saw the weather forecast for today and you are right, about a 105-110 degree heat index. I was thinking yesterday, man, I'm going to be covered in sweat just walking from my car to the stadium...lol. No biggie, but I did buy a new Royal shirt and visor, which I needed anyway, my old Royals visor is faded and dirty (usually wear it working outside in the yard).NotGutterGutter wrote: ↑Wed Aug 11, 2021 8:16 amWhile it no doubt sucks for you and your co-workers, your VP needs to put the health and well being of the employees above all else.

God (if there is a God) willing, there will be other opportunities for a group outing at Kauffman.
P.S. - While I realize the suite is indoors, being outside in 98 degree heat with 70% humidity doesn't sound like a good time. At all.
Many seemed to feel that what God gave them in their body was more than enough protection to fight off covid. Those people should just go to church and pray themselves back to health.
I guess I do sort of roll my eyes at this one - why not just say this was a benefit for vaccinated people only? A whole bunch of vaccinated people together isn't problematic, and neither is the parking lot/concourse travel part.shindig wrote: ↑Wed Aug 11, 2021 7:48 am Was supposed to go the Royals-Yankees afternoon game in our corporate suite today.

I agree. State in the invite that if you are "not vaccinated", you are not allowed to attend the outing. Right now, all corporate communication has stated that returning to the office does not require a vaccination, but it is highly recommended. Companies just need to start saying, if you're not vaccinated, you are not allowed to RTW, or something to that effect.jfish26 wrote: ↑Wed Aug 11, 2021 8:35 amI guess I do sort of roll my eyes at this one - why not just say this was a benefit for vaccinated people only?

The Royals have several suites and premium areas that are sold on a game-by-game basis. And of course they're not a very good team.shindig wrote: ↑Wed Aug 11, 2021 8:44 amI agree.
