Hey Migue, me. Would the start date originally communicated be honoured? Has your employer told u?

Smile Public Sector WFH

Hi, just commenced my 1st day of work today, right before the WFH implementation 7 april onwards. Very lucky, but also very weird, because everything from induction to training is done online! It takes a while of getting used to, especially having to get to know your colleagues through video call haha. Anyway have to get used to telecommute till WFH ceases! Let's pray Covid will quickly abate.
