Everyone went home and I got to work.

So during this pandemic most just stayed home as they had been forced to do so.
I was also forced to do so and did it no questions. I did also get sick and on more than one occasion. But I manned up and powered through it. Most see a job impact and lack of hiring as a issue. That is true, BUT that also means a power grab......Well I took the later view and it payed off!
So to anyone that wants to complain about no work....just know I went ahead and filled that gap and got you in my area.
Now time to continue my land grab and the continuation of my bucket list.

I am very proud of this and just wanted to share. I hope all of my super confused and true fighter comrades can understand my experience.

Last year when things were crazy as heck, I too didn't have the option of staying home. I went to work and earned so much overtime I double my yearly pay. The job required going to covid hotspots and filling in as needed. I didn't shy away from it either and apparently I couldn't catch covid trying. Either I'm immune or I'm a carrier.

You're right in what you're saying: can't/won't do the job, don't need the job.

At least you use the correct terminology.

I wish everyone an easy life and job, but I feel that the character built by that daily grind of taking care of your personal responsibilities and the responsibilities of those who are reliant on your work creates a humbleness and decency. You know how hard a work day is no matter what the person's job and it also brings people from different backgrounds to the same place with the same needs (morning coffee and a job that needs to get done). I don't like it but I'm all for it.

Ummm…you should be super proud of the fact that…you took advantage of the misfortunes of other people…grabbed up what used to be theirs…and then bragged about it…

Just another one of those greedy capitalists you try to disassociate yourself from…

…here’s to your super majestic climb up the backs of other’s of your brothers…so that you can get you some…

Kudo’s…bro…




YouSir

Been there done that.

Also,

After Monday and Tuesday, WTF.

I love that joke.

Right there with you, fella. Working in the manufacturing industry, I and nearly 1 million Ontarian manufacturing personnel were declared "essential workers" and told to go to work. We never shut down for a day since the pandemic started.

Here's your participant ribbon

Same here.
No time off, in fact we had a record year.
Not a day off for almost three months straight.
We own a HVAC company and with record heat on the west coast there was plenty of OT for everyone.
The only problem we are having is procuring parts.
We are still trying to catch up from the rush.

Being self employed/owning a small business doesn't usually offer the luxuries of working for a big corp and taking a year off to "work from home". You make it happen, or you starve.

Better to be working during the pandemic than stuck on Unemployment. Unemployment is good if there is something to do, if your stuck at home it would suck. I sat in bars and restaurant or went to social gatherings a lot when I used to collect unemployment, and also did snowmobiling and cross country skiing ans stuff like that, during the pandemic all that kind of stuff was stopped, I would have worked my tail off and saved some cash and paid off my debt if I was working during the pandemic.
