It was mainly bad faith, gas lighting flattery to trick the working class, particularly service workers, to keep working to keep making money for the corpos and their shareholders.

Yeah. It sucked having to work extra hard and watch others have time off spending that extra unemployment money

It didn't even work, either. Service workers aren't stupid, they saw through that immediately.

I personally get extremely annoyed when people complain about having to work from home during covid, since all my work is done in a lab on-site. I would have killed to work from home.

If anything, I hope that the Covid shitshow will be the groundwork for responding more quickly and effectively to future pandemics, but in reality I think the government just figured out how many people they can throw into the meat grinder and the limits of what people will put up with.

I remember when I was a resident I got free pizza for lunch from pizza hut because of essential workers. Nowadays the hospital gives us a bottle of water once a year for doctors day.

People whose labor is literally necessary to keep society functioning on a day-to-day basis don't deserve to get paid a decent wage. I don't understand how anyone finds that a perfectly acceptable way for society to function.

I'm not annoyed that people had to work from home, just annoyed by the people that complained about working from home while others were risking their health without any choice. I know people who were playing Overwatch for like, half their workday WFH and still complaining about how much it sucked. Rubs me the wrong way.

My office would cater lunches throughout the entire pandemic for the staff that worked on-site, as an apology for having to put themselves at risk. Once the WFH people found out about it, they would come to the office on the days we had catering, grab lunch, and go home. It was getting so bad that the people who worked IN-OFFICE couldn't get the food that was ordered for them, since they were running out of food by the time you could take your lunch break.

Little things like that still have me a bit salty.

Yeah, I was talking about how we regard essential workers. During the pandemic at least we acknowledged that these are people who are needed. The modern standard of living we enjoy wouldn't be possible without them. Yet we also act like they don't deserve anything more than poverty wages. That's stupid and wrong.

Everyone with the smallest of critical thinking skills knew what it was. The real title is "expendable cogs" that worthless praise was especially infuriating but so so on par with how America does things a pointless flashy show is far more easy than actually solving an issue or helping people. The only people who won out in Covid were the rich and corporations because it gave them so many open ways to screw people over and continue screwing them over to this day.

The lack of traffic during the lockdown was so fucking amazing. I even got hazard pay bonus for a few weeks which was like 25% of my regular check I think. Otherwise it was business as usual during lockdown >_>

The lack of traffic was amazing, I agree. Riding my motorcycle full tilt during what would have been peak rush hour was something I'll probably never get to experience again.

I work at a state college and since I work at the power plant we of course had to be at work. But our management was told to stay home and it lasted 18 months. They drew their normal salary and got a free 18 month vacation. They did a management zoom meeting once a week for an hour. Lucky bastards. The majority of campus was off for a year and a half.

I feel like if you worked through-out the shutdown that should be a huge Gold Star on any application.

Guess what, employers don't care.
