Tfw essential worker and everyone else is having fun playing vidya, getting paid at home
I feel you brother
>work in a hospital so I'll probably get the plague
>not even medical staff so I don't even get people thanking me for working
What do you do?
WAGIE, WAGIE.
scan all the patients' paperwork into the computers
In Ontario they're giving all medical staff a 4$/hr bump in pay
Thank you for doing that
Thank you for your service in these trying timesya wage cuck
Same. The JRPG lockdown threads are killing me inside.
I'm certainly not getting paid. But I'm having fun playing video games all day, yeah.
I can sympathize. At least I'm work-from-home at this point, but I still need to work. In many ways my job got much more difficult and more stressful.
but don't these images make you feel better???
>essential worker
>no free money
>no free time
>just gay "lol thanks wagie get fucked" ads from corporations
don't even get hazard pay while fucking university fags living with parents get free money,
>Being ungrateful at still having a job when millions of people are being fired or their small / medium business are going bankrupt
I hope you either get fired or die of the disease.
But you guys are like superheroes! lol ok back to work byeeeeee
My money is going to be worth fuck all as you fucking fakejob faggots cause hyper inflation and jack up taxes. I unironically wish this plague just killed off all the boomers, at the very least housing would become affordable.
>dead end grocery job
>get an extra $2 an hour for hazard pay for $14 total, 40 hrs week
>brother who got furloughed gets $650 a week from unemployment and just plays vidya all day
I’m gonna fucking lose it
unironically thank you lmao
i like being able to actually buy food and have health services available
still a necessary job though
you make it so they can actually do their jobs properly
without data entry they'd be fucked
>Company makes cosmetics for rich old people
>Big 'rona rolls into town
>Company changes 3% of it's total production to hand sanitiser
>Can now claim that we are all essential workers
>Office staff get furloughed anyway
>All their work is piled on to me
>Can't keep up with the endless stream of bullshit
>Corporate demanding productivity and making zero compromise for worker safety or the fact that 25% of the workforce is just fucking gone at any given time
>Some dumb faggot in process section comes into work for a week straight while his wife has symptoms, she gets rushed to hospital and confirmed COVID-19, all the other process workers walk except for two
>Everything grinds to a halt
>Everyone starts coming to me for answers
>I have no answers to give, everything is bullshit
>Yearly pay rise halted due to 'market instability', meanwhile company donates 60m to charity as an advertising stunt
>My good boss just went on two week quarantine since his kid has symptoms, leaving me with the boss who doesn't know what the fuck she is doing and avoids all forms of confrontation
I'm on an express elevator straight to hell lads
I'm non-essential but suddenly after years of being told it would be absolutely impossible for us to work from home for data security reasons we've all been given remote access.
My project is on hold though, I can deliver the analysis but there's no one working who can actually do anything with it now.
I've just been logging on every morning and then sitting by my PC playing the Vita. Wish I could ignore it altogether but even though my shit is on hold I still occasionally get messaged by colleagues to help with their shit and need to be there to answer so I'm not rumbled.
More like unwilling martyrs
I only got to enjoy 5 weeks off, they couldn't stand having us stay at home while still getting paid
None of this matters when the disaster capitalists are all poised and salivating to rip the rug out from under us
Im essential as well technically. At least I have my job
>tfw my job pays me double even though I work the night shift and don't even cone into contact with customers.
>mfw people with their degrees are unemployed and they have to live off 1200 burgerbucks
>mfw I also get 1700 burgerbucks in addition to my doubled pay.
>mfw I'm making 55 dollars an hour to stock shelves and tell others what to do
>mfw they're thinking of giving every american an extra 2k a month for the forseeable future and I'll also have access to that.
Life is good
I have it okay, just scared of inflation. We make gearmotors and it's kinda slow so we only work 3 days a week for full pay.
Honestly the only thing that pisses me off is canadacucks given money to students (when we need more wagies in grocery jobs, pretty sure foreign chinese will be getting free money too) and trudeau smuggling in more invaders.
Honestly education teachers getting full pay for a whole year is pretty gay as well. Teaching is a despicable profession and the whole propaganda daycare industry should be abolished.
Not getting any hazard pay is pretty ridiculous too.
Some people goes postal for less.
and then the people who like this image go out and be retards who don't follow proper social distancing protocols and make their jobs even more difficult
Managers deserve death
time to develop a mysterious persistent cough
Bro I work at a fucking golf course and somehow my hosier state weasled that this dumb lawnsport is essential.
At least some of you can say you're doing something useful at least or getting bonus pay. I'm tired of watching douchbags golf all day.
I just wanna sit on my ass and collect unemployment...
Oh hey I just finished watching this show yesterday. Good stuff.
Get out of that shit heap mate. Its not your responsibility. If the actual bosses cannot be bothered then why should you?
I feel you pain user I'm here keeping criminals locked up whilst everyone is home chilling or being thanked for their sacrifice
I'm honestly a glorified door man and rarely have to tell anyone how to do their job I hate micromanaging people.
I actually liked my job before all of this shit started happening though, it was easy and comfortable, shit ran smooth.
I want it to still be there when it's all over, so I have to personally keep this machine made of breadsticks and fireworks from turning into a screaming ruin.
Also I get off on having this much power. I could go into work drunk and they wouldn't say SHIT, because if I walk then the ENTIRE THING will fall apart and the company will probably collapse entirely. It's the only silver lining.
>job can technically be done from home
>but due to the rest of the company being out on their arses workload is basically 1/3th normal
>no need to commute
>still get paid full
corona's been good for me
People keep thanking me and I find it so weird. I'm getting paid. If I were doing it for free then it would make a lot more sense.
I absolutely doubt we're getting the 2k a month, they barely managed to give us the 1200
Yeah I know but its nice to think about you know? I didn't think we'd get 1200-1700 either and here we are.
well they gave out 13000 per american in benefits, it's just that 9/10th went to our corporate overlords
>Be medfag.
>Suffer an accident that made me quit.
>Now I'm just chilling out living the NEET life while my former coworkers are dying out there.
>mfw.
Imagine thinking you deserve hazard pay because you might catch something with a chance of death lower than shoveling snow in the winter. You’re pathetic. By your metric I should get hazard pay every time I take a shit.
At least you have a job.
Plenty of men are totally unemployable because they are too autistic.
I'm an essential worker too, but I'm working from home while playing Xcom all day.
If it helps, my sister basically does the same thing but she got laid off with no guarantee of being hired back.
>it’s not my fault! The boomers did it! Wahhhhh! What a fag.
I literally get paid to sit in a empty building and watch movies. I rather be at home ffs
America right now consists of 3 castes:
Unemployed
Professional workers working from home
Essential workers who are typically getting paid less than the first 2 groups and are at much higher risk of infection
my fav managers are the ones that literally hate having to manage anyone's production. they are essentially the most senior production member and get triggered when they are put in charge of what we should be doing and when.
>TFW essential worker but have to work from home
>Upper middle management
>No new business to onboard because virus
>Basically have to do nothing
pretty great.
>first- and second level support for an satellite service provider
>work from home
>do nothing but play vidya 24/7
>Work in steel fabrication
>Thought we were gonna be shut down
>Nope
>Since we "technically" are helping build stuff for a pharmaceutical company we get to stay open
>Even though we are not even doing any of that and most of our stuff is going to newyork
>While the state is fucking closed
>No hazard pay
>They offed a voluntary lay off but we all know if you take it they aint gonna bring ya back
>Still work 50+ hour weeks
This whole pandemic might as well not be happening as far as I am concerned
imagine going from being the guy that's respected for being the best at the thing he loves doing to the bottom-bitch of something he hates doing
Ahahahah no
Housing will get snapped up by the disaster capitalists. A new generation of upper class landlords to fuck you over for the rest of your life. You think a disaster that shows the flaws of our societal structure will cause any actual change? You're naive, and an idiot. So long as the rich see a means to become richer, they will not care about the absolute shambles that has become of the american dream, or the suffering of their countrymen. These people do not understand nation, race, or creed, they are loyal only to power, and the easiest way to obtain that is through money. This is the sort of person that we have let infest our governments and political spheres. They are a cancer, and they will not stop.
Welcome to the endgame.
This. Only a violent uprising on the levels of the French revolution will stop this beast. But good luck convincing Americans do see their oppression after decades of propaganda from the rich.
>freelance web developer
>get 2k trudeaubux every month
>1k from provincial government
>500 every month towards my rent which goes to mommy which goes back to my bills
>more is on its way
Those are the best managers in terms of effectiveness, though. The ones who only get involved when they have no other choice, and don't fuck about with shit that isn't broken.
I sorta feel bad for them. Especially since there's only so much you can do as one of the production workers so if you actually want to make money or actually have a voice in what gets done you have to eventually move into managing people.
I know lots of people who hate being management, but its literally the only way they're able to help us get shit done, because if they weren't the managers they'd hire some retarded art major off the street or someshit.
you're a good person user
Its not worth risking your health for their profit margin my man. If your financial position allows it, I would quit and go onto benefits.
are weebs allowed to work in steel fabs
>being poor
take the options pill
I take it the way they have that "generous" layoff setup you can't claim unemployment benefits?
LOOOOOL WAGEY WAGEY BACK TO YOUR CAGEY
