Facebook makes some contractors come into offices despite delaying return for U.S. employees
Summary
While U.S. Facebook employees have been spared risking their health in the wake of the Covid-19 delta wave until a return to the office occurs in January 2022, Morans team of contractors has not. While Facebook has taken steps to protect its U.S. employees by allowing them to continue working remotely for at least another several months, that same consideration has not been extended to the contractors on Morans team. "While the majority of full-time employees and contingent workers for Facebook continue working from home, some have returned to offices that have reopened at reduced capacities with strict health and safety standards in place," the spokeswoman said in a statement. The team had been working remotely for more than a year when they were informed on July 15 that theyd be needed back at Facebooks Mountain View, California, offices. Fortunately for her, Moran was able to get a doctor to sign a form saying she lives with someone who is vulnerable to Covid-19, her elderly mom, and she has been given permission to continue working remotely until Aug. 31.
