my customer isn't allowing vendors into their facilities

Hospitals are starting to tell our company that no reps allowed unless the OR director and the utilizing surgeon says it's necessary. No new business, no new cold calls.

My company internally just sent out some #$!&@ saying we are monitoring and prepared to institute whatever measures necessary.

My company is kind of dragging their feet now and it's pissing a lot of people off. Nobody has answered my question from 5:30 last night. Nobody has to be physically here to work. The few people that had desktops were given laptops. I just don't see the gains we will see from staying here too long

You really need leadership at times like this and we're not seeing anything. They haven't made a statement on for a couple weeks now

Hi All,

I've seen this hundreds of times, but never with all capitalized.

Our new VP writes, "Hi, all," which, while correct, it's like ... settle down.

At least in our district, they're taking their cues from the county and state departments of health. Nobody has any idea how long we would actually be out, but it seems like 14 days (including weekends) at the minimum, but quite possibly more.
