Gaming is a weird industry where you can scam the consumers with lies and fake promises, and there will still be fanboys defending it.

I got about $700 in bonus money the entire pandemic to date.

and constantly berated by greedy customers and a high risk of contracting covid. Im starting to think I caught covid during the beginning of the pandemic but there were no tests available in my great state of Mississippi at the time.

I'm about the same way just no bonus. I think I got it around April. Was hard to breathe for about two weeks. My job slowed down, but there was still work to do since I'm an electrician.

In MS we had to deal with lack of tests and still have to deal with just plain selfish and ignorant people here not helping things at all.

I got a few bonuses throughout the first year of the pandemic. I also had a few weeks paid because I tested positive for covid and had to quarantine (fortunately, I was asymptomatic so it was basically just 10 days of hanging around at home relaxing/doing nothing).

We got $4 of hazard pay for 6 weeks. Which was like a 28% bump for me at the time.

I was able to get the covid shot early.

That's about it. We didn't get our usual raises or bonuses for the year so the very short hazard pay was kind of a wash.

We successfully voted Trump out of office. The corporate greed that the right is obsessed with is probably at least partially responsible for that.

The American rescue plan gives states billions of dollars; they are allowed to use that money to give essential workers a bonus of up to $25k/worker.

How much are you getting paid to shill for faceless corporations?

Unemployed people aren't the issue. If companies want to be competitive in hiring they have to be competitive in benefits.

Ah. My bad. I live in a red state where people say things like that all the time and are serious about it.
