TN's numbers are many times more than what they were when we shut down in March, but things are continuing to re-open. The death rate and hospitalization numbers are worse as well.
Found out that my work at a county building is opening back up fully in a week. The public can go where they want, hold meetings, etc. School starts on Monday so you would think they'd wait to see the fallout from that as well as Labor Day, but no. I thought it was the county higher ups like the Mayor pushing for us to fully re-open, but I learned it was just my boss. Oh, and my work has stopped providing masks for employees because "they cost too much" even though we were told earlier in day that the county funds are doing great because they haven't spent much during the shutdown.
What gets me the most is that, ever since March, my boss has told the entire staff repeatedly that we should be "happy and grateful to continue working while others are without a job." Mind you, the building I work in will not ever close down. We also do not receive our yearly raise and have been dealing with the public since May. The public who, at times, dislikes how we're safely operating and decides to spit on things or yell in our faces. I should be grateful that I get to continue working where I'm risking my life and my families? Sometimes, it gets incredibly depressing....
....time to see how Enji Night is doing in the tournament. >_<
Supposedly there is a Japanese custom where you go drinking with your boss and speak your minds. True or not, it may work on a revolving plan where you rotate in and out on 30 minute shifts. No need to let the boss know you will be rotating in and out.
