Costco employees describe a frantic workplace as panic shoppers overrun stores and coronavirus cases mount at corporate headquarters
"Everyone's really anxious," a Costco Travel employee close to the worker who died told Business Insider. This employee said that the company is gradually transitioning to a work-from-home setup.
Another employee in Costco's corporate offices said that the company has yet to close its buffet-style delis for employees on campus because they are considered an essential service. Another Costco Travel employee told Business Insider that after the first case of coronavirus on campus was discovered, people were given laptops to work from home on a priority basis, depending on their job.
"They had the ability to have people work from home for a while," this employee said, expressing frustration at the entire situation, which she described as chaotic and slow.
