Current Events > Are you to blame if you go to work with the Corona virus?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Living pay check to pay check

Nope.

Your coworkers have been part of the voting American public that refuses to vote for politicians that support universal healthcare or mandatory paid sick leave.

Fuck em

I have no choice. My work is traveling everywhere.

---

If you have the ability to work from home, yes, absolutely.

If not, and your business doesn't provide adequate sick pay, no, not your fault.

i work at a fast food restaurant

if i get everyone deserves to get it

do you know somebody who's doing this?

not at my work place but yes

Depends on your job.

...theyll never know.

---

Yes and no.

You kinda gotta eat/have shelter.

+ and - extra depending on whether you have dependents and how many people you come in contact with at work and how likely they are to be in a at risk population.

The real villian is Congress/companies for not giving much better sick leave

---

I don't blame anyone for going to work while sick, it's justified that nobody wants to end up in the gutter because they lost wages by staying home.

Disgusting. Though I do agree there should be some measures to protect businesses from the sudden added expense when the economy is in shambles.

Focusing more on smaller businesses. Walmart and the like can eat the cost and fuckin like it.

if your place of work isn't going to work with you on literally having the novel coronavirus, yeah. go find a better place to work. one that isn't a threat to public health.

and don't be one, yourself.

other people stand to lose more than you do, and it would be by your actions.

I'm curious to see how many companies are going to be tied up in lawsuits over the next few years regarding mistreating their employees over this.

Again. I'd rather do that then be homeless. And I'm sure most people agree with me.

Bruh. A lot of fucked up people on ce making excuses for intentionally spreading a potentially deadly disease.

You are responsible for your actions. You're free to complain about your boss and the government but that does not change your personal responsibility.

and it's defenses like these that let employers take advantage of their employees in situations like this

i don't think saying that you quit your last job over not wanting to spread the novel coronavirus will hurt you in an interview.

and it's defenses like these that let employers take advantage of their employees in situations like this

bullshit -- you have this idea where responsibility over your actions is ever handed off. nope. if you know that what you're doing can spread an illness and kill other people, you need to not do it.

more corporate bootlicking tbqh

the corporations paid politicians to take advantage of you in situations like this. we have no choice but to play their game if we want any chance of not going homeless or succumbing to debt.

Literally advocation of wage slavery in this thread

If you can't read.

If you are willingly infecting people will a deadly disease you are being so incredibly negligent your coworkers should be able to press charges.

There is 0 reason to intentionally spread a deadly disease. Just like there is 0 reason for your employer to fire you for protecting your coworkers.

---

i never advocated wage slavery. i said go find a better place to work. the suggestion that you improve your station is patently opposite to what you're trying to twist this argument into.

go troll about something that you actually know shit about

give my posts a deep read. i mean really get into them.

if your employer is going to fire you if you don't come in and you live paycheck to paycheck to support a family, the spread is 100% on the employer and the politicians that let it happen

no one is intentionally spreading anything

Apparently potentially kill your coworkers is an acceptable answer to fuck the man?

The main issue with coronavirus is you can spread it before you have symptoms. Call tf in if you're experiencing symptoms, but a lot of well-meaning people will spread it anyways.

Theres zero reason for it but theyll do it anyway.

no, you don't get to shift responsibility for your own actions. kind of a sociopath take.

if you live paycheck to paycheck maybe do something a bit better with your life.

think about what you're suggesting

it's okay to be terminated for becoming sick, then having to find a new job (presumably while still sick) to sustain any sort of income, which is required to sustain any sort of living situation, buy food, etc

think about that

If your employer is going to fire you you'll win a very easy lawsuit. And you're in a fucking topic saying you should go to work while knowingly infected. That is intentionally spreading. It makes you an absolutely disgusting human being and I'll never see your post again.

Whether you like it or not this is the reality you live in. Wishing on a star isnt going to change it and as shown in this election cycle trying to change it politically isnt going to either. Your best bet is to do what you can to survive.

i never said it was okay to be fired for getting sick. reading comprehension is not your strong suit.

i said that choosing to get fired over spreading a disease is the right choice.

i'll slow it down for you. i think companies should be forgiving of their employees if they don't want to spread this thing. because that's ethical. i can't believe i have to explain this.

"stop being poor"

well, what are you doing trying to support a family off of wal-mart payroll?

all I'm saying is that blaming the employee and not the employer/corporation/politicians is exactly the type of shit the latter relies on to make situations like this possible in the first place

do you want this to not happen again? start attacking the ones responsible, not the ones that are forced to play their rigged game to survive.

but hey, if i don't need to see you strawmanning my points to help you defend wage slavery then good riddance

I'm certain that employers firing workers on the basis of staying home sick during a worldwide pandemic calls for discriminatory legal action, not just filing for unemployment.

That's just my assumption I don't really know.
