I’m mildly drunk and a little bitter. There is a portion of the society that stopped working in March or started some work from home routine. There are some jobs and some individuals that can perform while WFH as well or better than going in to the office, but really, that majority of people out there fuck off even more. Based on what I’ve seen from my kids school system and my company’s acct, sales and customer service divisions, I’d say 60% efficiency is generous. These were salary peoples, and these groups kept getting paid the same to sit around at home. Most of these people don’t realize what kind of supply chain it really takes for milk to be delivered to their door weekly.
Then there was a portion of society that went in to work every day, even in March. Nurses, grocery store stockers, farmers, operators, etc. These were mostly hourly type employees, they were told they were essential, and that they had to keep showing up, and if they didn’t they didn’t get paid. They kept shit going in this country so that everyone still had internet, electricity, gas, healthcare, food AND could fuck off at home and pretend that the country was shut down.
Now we have everyone in group one still wanting to fuck off at home while group 2 takes care of them. And group 1 tends to look down their nose at group 2. At my work place, we recently had the CA group flat out refuse to come back to the office because they didnt feel comfortable even though we’ve required masks, distancing, sanitizing, and restricted/stopped non employees from entering their building. They didn’t have any problem continuing to get paid while the hourly staff showed up every day and interacted with each other, or outiside drivers and contractors to keep product moving though. Country is full of a bunch of hypocrites that want to be lazy and make it we groups risk their lives for them.
I’m going to open another bottle now.
