Hi all. Iβm Katie and I cover the Justice Department from The NYT's Washington D.C. bureau. Here's my story about the decision in the Eric Garner case.
Before moving to the East coast, I lived in San Francisco and covered startups, venture capital and Apple. I wrote about the encryption fight between Apple and the FBI and how tech employees chasing the Silicon Valley dream are often short-changed by executives and investors. Some of my work on the beat was also part of a package that won a Pulitzer Prize for public service in 2018.
Before joining The Times, I spent nearly a decade at Fortune covering financial markets, private equity and hedge funds. I profiled Hank Paulson and Robert Schiller and wrote features on the 2008 financial crisis and financial fraud cases.
I didn't plan on being a journalist. No J-School. No college paper. But I freelanced while I lived in Beijing for a few years and got an entry level job at CNN/Money upon my return to the US and decided that I really liked the job!

EDIT: Thank you for all of your questions! My hour is up, so I'm signing off. But I'm glad that I got to be here. Thank you thank you thank you.
The partners met yesterday to discuss whether or not we should still be working from the office, and decided to ride it out because we would simply be too "inefficient" working from home...
Really? This guy is clueless. The administration and professors at OSU must have missed this memo because they can still penalize you for not showing up regardless of the reason. COVID or not.
It's showing an infinite on-hand count and our sales-to-inventory rates are approaching 0%; we're now the fifth lowest scoring Depot Depot in our sector, and third lowest company wide.
This just had to happen five cycles before the Black Epoch sales event.
What do I tell corporate?

Hi there,
Employee of ISED here in the NCR (Ottawa) - I emailed my union ACFO today to see if they could ask our management to allow people with the capability to WFH to stay at home - I noted that ACFO & PIPSC have closed their offices but at the end of the day Friday March 13 we were told at ISED to come in unless we were personally ill.
Many of the employees have laptops - if the telework infrastructure is not robust enough to allow us to all login - then they need to fix the infrastructure and not risk the lives of the employees and their families because of improper crisis planning. More than that we are increasing the risk to nurses, doctors and essential staff of our society by not taking reasonable proactive action on this issue.
I understand that some departments are allowing people to work from home and some are not - this is insane, the treasury board has stated that it is up to individual management to determine who should work from home or not - this doesn't mean keep an entire department open because you are afraid you are going to overload the VPN.... If the VPN doesn't work allow people to work offline.
I know what my responsibilities of my job are and frankly I am not comfortable increasing societal risk of mass death to appease some kind of optics issue of "public servants are lazy". I also to prefer to work in person under normal circumstances but these are not normal circumstances.
Please email your respective unions - If they fail to act, then I say we make arrangements ourselves to work from home anyways on Monday (March 16) if you feel your tasks can be reasonably be completed at home.
If the union workers don't have to expose themselves to COVID then neither should their members.
