Default "unsanitary crashpads"

From the horse's mouth...
  • "Unsanitary crashpads" - question dodged (implied position = company accepts it)
  • "got a business to run"

If the crash pad is unsanitary the don’t leave there. The pad I’m in is very clean.

A crash pad being clean or dirty is no more an employer’s s responsibility than your own home being clean or dirty. They didn’t tell you to commute, they didn’t tell you what crashpad to stay in. These are all personal choices, take responsibility for them.

I might have missed it? But does the company require a person to live in a different state and commute to work in NYC and then live in a frat house for 5 days while on RSV?

As a former commuter I agree completely.

Yes, but that decision was made when there was no global pandemic. Probably not practical to move your residence to domicile during the last four weeks.

I'm back on reserve, doing it at home.

Not going to a pad with all this going on, I think the whole lockdown thing is a bit overblown but a crashpad is CLEARLY a higher-risk environment, clean or not.

Also not paying for hotels all month with furloughs looming, not that hotels are particularly sanitary either.

Tapatalk is a forum app. Guessing that text auto inserts when you post using that app as a form of advertising.

Did they pay to relocate you to where they required you to report? Nope. In the case of SFO or NYC did they pay you a CoL difference allowing you to reside in that location without being poor?? Again, nope.

The mentality of commuting is a choice, was molded from pilots that over decades decided it was a choice. You get what you fight for
