Do essential workers deserve extra money from the government?
    #26739132 - 06/12/20 09:32 AM (3 years, 7 months ago)

Right now essential workers are demanding hazard pay, extra bonuses, and extra stimulus checks from the government. One of their reasons is because they have to wear a mask and that's unhealthy and annoying for them. They also said that they deserve extra stimulus checks because "people are getting paid to do nothing" even though alot of people are working from home right now and the rest aren't getting paid cause they can't go to work. I feel like we should be taking care of the people that got laid of and aren't able to go to work right now not the people that are getting paid more than they usually make because of overtime. I can see harzard pay for people in public hospitals that make under a certain amount but the whole bonuses and extra stimulus checks I think goes a little far and seems greedy considering we have a ton of people on unemployment.

I think people lounging on yachts in isolation making tens of millions while forcing others to risk their lives to keep a roof over their heads are pretty fucking greedy.

I had to leave my 'essential' part time job because the virus was spreading there and I live with vulnerable people.

I'm now making $900 a week on unemployment. The staff there on the front lines (ltc/gle) are working 50+ hours and still not making what I make to stay home.

Anyone deemed essential should have recieved the $600 a week from the beginning. Now they're likely ending up with nothing.

Putting money in their pockets in large part would have gone right back into boosting the economy, as opposed to corporate bailouts that largely benefit executives and wealthy stock market investors, or should I say campaign contributors.

Hazard pay is reasonable for people working directly with covid patients, bonuses maybe. The whole thing of that they want more in their stimulus packages AND extra stimulus checks. They're not only pushing this for low waged jobs but for people making high salaries like doctors RN's nurse practitioners police and correctional officers and more. I think it's greedy for people making over 80k a year plus the overtime they're getting to ask for extra stimulus checks on top hazard pay and bonuses. If they're working for private companies the company should be providing hazard pay if necessary and bonuses.

It's also kinda fucked up to say people are getting stimulus checks to do nothing when most people are working from home or can't pay bills because they were laid off.

Also people saying wearing masks increases your risk of getting sick is stupid af.

I think people should get fucking jobs.

And no, no hazard pay for a fucking flu.

Have got to be joking.

Ya it's not like they're getting shot at in Afghanistan though I still think people working in public hospitals directly with covid patients should get some type of hazard pay but $600 a week extra seems a little over the top.

Let my boss know, currently I have 5 people working under me. I can almost guarantee they could use some more money.

I'm an essential worker.  I'm a veteran of the Shroomery.  I'm a prolific poster.  I've been known by every member in the last 10 years.  I probably have 3 to 5 smileys based off me.  I'm loved and hated by everyone.  I deserve more money per hour.

Health care personnel can't live up to what I do.

I worked all this thru this though the station I work it is just me working alone, its hard to say the job is risky because the only possible exposure is the person who was sitting at the desk before me, after cleaning the whole thing before I start I can't say its that risky.
I'm torn, everyone around me is getting handouts including people who are loaded. Canadian government is giving money to low paid essentials like grocery store workers, but I make too much money to qualify. I'd rather be working than depend on the government, but it would be nice to get something.

"Essential" workers deserve a serious boost up and constant thank you from society. Especially since certain states aren't choosing to do right by people an establish livable minimum wage and some sort of mechanisms of social growth and empowerment. Not sure why it took a virus to almost kill us for people to realize folks on the bottom rung are just that same as anyone an deserve respect and gratitude.

As an essential worker, I just want to make sure that people who work in the health insurance industry are not only not essential but a toxic burden to our great nation.  As an essential worker I want permission I want permission to punch one of them in the face, i will settle for someone who is middle management and I expect no other financial compensation.

Thanks in advance

If we allow u some "time" paid for by the people for the people to spend with a serious professional "nurse" or healthcare professional would u experience some type of healing and reconciliation?

No that's not what I said, give me an insurance executive please I'll give them 37.98/week in perpetuity also subsidized by my employer just to ensure they get what they deserve as an essential worker.
