"Is that a typo?!"

So today I had to move all of our summer classes to an online format, by order of the university president. The worst part was getting pushback from faculty members about not wanting to teach online. What part of "I don't have a choice, this is required by the President" are people having a problem with?

Meanwhile, I have other faculty who are just doing what they gotta do and also being proactive and reserving zoom accounts all the way through summer... I love those peeps.

Then this afternoon we got an email that said all full-time benefits-eligible employees have been given several hours of paid personal leave to use during this time. That means days off that don’t count against sick leave or vacation time. I kept rereading that email thinking "is that a typo?!"
