Halt activities at WebHelp Taguspark due to COVID-19 concerns.
The Issue
Many of us feel extremely uncomfortable and do not feel safe going to work (WebHelp Taguspark) under the current health, and safety, conditions affecting Portugal, as well as in the rest of the world.
Other projects within the same building have already looked into ways to possibly allow their advisors to work from home when possible. Our project, however, has been taking certain measures to keep the workplace as clean and safe as possible, but hand sanitizer, spraying alcohol on our hands and keeping every single window closed from 8am to 8pm is barely enough to contain this; yet they have not communicated, openly, any intentions of doing the same, or even putting the project on a hiatus while this situation gets resolved.
On top of that, even the restaurants in that same area have started to shut down for the duration of this epidemic.
As such, given that it's hardly manageable to keep a 1,50m distance between every single person working there; we all use headsets, mice and keyboard that can be easily swapped around, and given how many of us commute to work on a daily basis, this ends up creating an environment in which few of us feel safe and comfortable to be working at.
Our goal is simple: Either allow us to work from home, or stop the services momentarily until the situation with COVID-19 is resolved.
