The list of “essential workers” was fairly big depending on how businesses wanted to interpret things. On top of service type jobs, any job that did anything for the government, or any of its contractors or suppliers, were all considered “essential”. Anything that dealt with first responders or the like were considered “essential” as well. And all of those businesses have to some degree people that need to work in an office to support them.
Not OP, but I worked in an office where we had to scan documents off of microfilm, which isn’t something that can be done at home. Also, the office would receive paper mail with paper checks and that had to be open and scanned into the system so that the people working at home could process those documents.
How were you an essential worker but worked in an office?
