I am an essential worker. My company is contracted to make an adjuvant for the corona vaccine (the adjuvant increases the immune response) I am at significantly more risk by going to work everyday of contracting covid-19 even following strict adherence to best practices. My company pays a hazard pay of 200/week for every full time on-site >36 hour employee. Despite this, this should not exempt me from any government stimulus I may be qualified for, as again, my risk is probably 1000 fold of someone who can work from home everyday.

if we can boot as hard as we want, and our choice of any CEO/congressperson, i might be willing to accept this compromise.
i'm pretty sure the world would swiftly become a better place and world peace would be achieved this way.

As an essential worker surrounded by complaining essential workers. No, no handouts. And fire the complainers.
Work for me has been an absolute fuck storm of shit lately. I signed up for it. When something like this happens you kind of expected to have kick into high gear. Some people are just lazy spoiled fucks.
Also im probably at a much higher risk of contracting covid. Ive been shaking truck driver's hands from all over the country. And truckers are nasty as fuck usually

Responsibility to keep you having a job. Those people definitely didn't work hard organizing your entire company that you get to show up at.
I forgot most employees are totally capable of designing companies and keeping them running
In this country they're the most essential. We wouldn't even have essential workers without them

I think people don't realize how much is on the backs of people who start, run, administrate, and manage businesses.
Imagine if you fuck up and put 10+ people out of a job. And besides you have to deal with people complaining that you make money off their hard work. Too much money

For sure, Im in top management
Most of our actions are aimed at keeping all staff at work. Everybody in the management team took a paycutt to keep everyone on board

why would you call it a handout? i'm a cashier working for 9.65 an hour, which is still better than the federal minimum wage. i make about 1000 a month, and of that, about 750 goes toward rent and utilities, and another 50 toward gas. i still qualify for food stamps because i still am poor enough that i don't count as middle class.
i'm encountering hundreds of people a day, many without masks, at close range, for shit pay, and i most certainly didn't sign up for crap like this with only a plexiglass screen that no one actually bothers to put between me and themselves (half the time they literally dont see it - they actually smack themselves against it like they're some oversized demented bird) while whining about how hot their mask is and TAKE IT OFF IN FRONT OF ME, defeating the entire goddamned purpose of the thing.
if you got lazy ass workers, here's a hint: fire the lazy ass workers. if they're not getting fired, either the manager is the problem... or maybe the workers aren't as worthless to the manager as you feel they are. either way, those workers deserve better than to get paid a sub-living wage while in the middle of a freaking pandemic. they shouldve been paid a living wage ages ago.
it's good for their health. it's good for the economies health. trickle down doesn't trickle down anything except piss. what we need is a wellspring from the bottom up, because a strong foundation is how economies are truly built.

It shouldn't be legal to pay people 9.65. The taxpayers have to pay for your food stamps because your employer is too cheap to pay you a decent wage.

Essential works they deserve that extra 2.00 hazard pay.. people on unemployment still make more money a week then the essential workers do.. also when you wear a face mask all day everyday your breathing in your own carbon dioxide, it also lowers your oxygen levels. Normal pulse oximeter readings usually range from 95 to 100 percent, values under 90 are considered low.. The lower the oxygen level, the more severe the hypoxemia. This can lead to complications in body tissue and organs.. honestly though if your wearing rubber gloves you're just spreading germs unless you change them everytime you touch something. The masks are uncomfortable to wear along with lowering oxygen levels in your body which could be dangerous to people with health issues like COPD, asthma, ect...

That depends what essential workers your talking about and what state you're in.
And that's only an issue for n95 and above masks. Most people are wearing the surgical masks and they already recommend for people wearing n95 masks to take breaks and not wear them all day.

Also many essential workers aren't at an increased risk than people staying at home.
