It's too early for law firms where work has not been impacted during WFH.
Courts I can understand, as a number of advocates entire livelihood has been destroyed over the last year.
Zilch precautions. There are sanitizer bottles kept around which no one really uses. Masks come off after entering office.
I live in Andheri West. Commuting is an absolute pain without local train. BEST is simply not viable for my commute route. Can't afford Ola/Uber/auto/taxi everyday; will end up spending 33-50% retainer on commute at this rate if office were 5 days a week. Can't take scooter in rain, might die. Can't afford car, its mileage (especially while petrol is 110), and parking charges. Absolute clusterf**k.
I've asked for full time WFH, will put in papers if refused.
With news of law firms opening up - this may be a good space to collect timelines and precautions being taken by the firms + associates/partners (in their individual capacity) so that we can collectively benefit.
I am nervous about travelling again and finding a house (if required to move back to Bombay) and more worried about the commute, and enclosed office spaces, once I am there.
