Let affected people take time off work without requiring them to use sick hours or PTO.

Are they being paid during that time? If so, what’s your limit on that?

Your limit is how long it takes them to find somewhere safe for their family. I evacuated and got back online later that day. Several leaders reached out to me to ask if I needed anything or if I wanted to take time off. In response, I feel more allegiance, and want to work harder. I love my job even more than I did 3 days ago.

Treat others how you would like to be treated. Respect breeds respect.

I’m happy that your org seems respectful and humane. That’s incredibly rare nowadays.

Ideally yes. And the limit is until things are stable.

But if you need a discrete answer, probably a few months? If we're in an emergency situation as a tech industry for more than a month, something much dire than business has happened. Many tech companies rebounded from COVID in a few months times.
