Meh those people were already working jobs that barely paid them a living wage so I don't particularly care about them getting paid more to not work at home

Sucks for the people that had no choice but to work and get paid less than those not working though

I've always been an essential worker and I remember having to work Christmas 2020 outside running machinery for a mushroom farm, when it wasn't my usual position. The regular guys had caught Covid, so they were short staffed. It was an annoying couple years, but I'm working at a better place now.

Covid did teach us all a lesson while working with the public. No one cares about your safety.

Yup, I was so pissed during the Holiday season of 2020.
I was working at a Wine and Spirits store, and people showed they didn't give two fucks about the whole thing, after I was busting ass for them and doing the right thing all year. Literally lines going back meters of people who were once too scared to leave the house. 'Fuck Grandma' we gotta have our Holidays.'

Jeez what a crock....? Everyone got all that money not working while we risked our arses ? They ever do anything for those that had to work during covid lock down?
I work for a university and because of remote learning, that eliminated hazard pay for us under terrible weather conditions because they never have to close the school.

Yeah I seen alot of this. I remember they finally shut down the casinos and working at the gas station was hell cause we had lottery so the gambling addicts that were getting all this extra money sitting home unemployed came in to get there "rush" was sickening ...... people putting them selves at risk for a scratch off or powerball is nuts (alot were older too) and even some would openly brag like "what else I'm supposed to do with this extra money sitting at home quarantined" like make it there excuse to get out house.

bad memories and moments where I just shook my head at people like seriously.

See, this is the bright side we need to remember. As hard as things are, the ruling class are still getting richer. Our ultimate goal continues unabated.

Ya, I did pick job that couldn't be closed. In both cases they were unhealthy locations.

....But I want to say, because you mentioned Casinos. I had, almost a year before, all of this worked at a Casino, my then coworkers were making fucking bank between the union contract and w/e the government was handling out.

I am glad I worked the thing, but ya, it got me nowhere.

And ya, Society hasn't learned shit.
I was basically a meme, until people were over it....however many deaths later.
Seeing pictures of refrigerated trucks being used as morgues in NYC apparently wasn't enough.

What did we learn?
That shitty Zoom call meeting voice is acceptable in 2024, and almost comes off a virtue signaling.
Work from home, Fine. But for the love of Christ get a better rig. If a cam girl can do it in 2018, you can to.

But we all know, we live in a broken society.
