Police said they had arrived around 9pm on Wednesday to find people with fatal injuries in several rooms of a ward at the Oberlin Clinic, a specialist orthopaedic hospital in Potsdam, capital of Brandenburg, the state that surrounds Berlin.
Print article Q: We’re getting enormous pushback from our employees to an email we sent out last week stating that employees need to return to the workplace. At the same time, our organization, which is set up to serve customers, can’t survive if we let all the employees who want to work from home do so. It’s not fair to our customers or the employees who show up at work. Further, when I call those who allegedly work full time but at home during the workday, they often let slip the fact that they’re not working. I’ve been told, “let me turn down the TV” or “sorry I didn’t answer right away, I was out in the garden.”

CHICAGO â If you re stressing about having to return back to the office, youâre not alone.
Recent studies show a large percentage of people donât want to return to the office full time. I ve got two young kids and pets, and I m able to kind of take more time with them in the morning,â said Stephanie Bossmeyer, a human resources director who has been working from home the past year. I can t believe the amount of time that I spent going to and from work.
In the USA, the average adult working outside of the home works about 40 hours.
For those of us in healthcare, including first responders, as well as other essential workers, we often â and more so in the past year â work a lot of overtime. Many of us spend most of our waking lives working at making a living.
Companies have struggled for years with health care costs for their employees. Individuals who work less than full-time jobs, or work for some smaller companies, or are self-employed may not even have employer provided health insurance. The cost of healthcare goes up and up. Many, even the well insured and adequately employed, struggle to pay copayments for emergency health care and catastrophic health care, or even something as routine as an MRI or CT scan.
