Gah, this is infuriating, and I'm vicariously furious about it. It seems crazy to me that you should be in a position where advocating for your own safety on the basis of health during a global pandemic might be seen as trouble-making or place your employment in jeopardy. I do recognise that you will have assessed the cost/benefit in pushing back further and reached your conclusions based on that analysis, but might there not be value in just saying: can you confirm in writing that it is corporate policy to require a member of a high-risk vulnerable group to put themselves at increased and unnecessary risk under threat of sanction? And can you also confirm the details of the death-in-service policy, and to whom my estate should address a wrongful-death suit? (I am only being slightly tongue in cheek with this).
Not to rub it in, but the university for which I am presently contracting has made it very clear that no one will be expected back in the office this year. It boggles me that there are institutions who are pretending that this is All Over.
