Teleworking is ending Monday and we’re all forced back into the office. Everyone will get their temperature checked each morning. If it’s over 100.4 degrees you must leave and get tested.
Have a baby coming next week so it’s a little scary but fuck that place. My family is much safer now with me not being surrounded by the people you see in videos protesting business not being open.
They were only going to let me off for the days we were in the hospital and then once released I would have had to come back to work. No pto can be used because it has to be preapproved. My only regret is not leaving a giant nasty shit in the toilet and not flushing it.
Not sure. I’m on my wife’s benefits because she works for a good company with fantastic benefits so I didn’t even sign up for my shitty ones
That’s been done for deaths. The State gave them printouts of data with “Cause of death” information redacted “to protect the privacy of the individuals”.
Its awful. It also stems from the personality of people that work there. Its full on “covid is a hoax” mentality straight up to the top of the food chain. I’ve posted it prior but they didn’t even give us soap. They used some Dial in the office bathrooms but just filled them up with water over and over again.
Yes. We were never essential. We were disposable the entire time. The essential employees were the ones they let work form home. I said as much as I gave zero shits.
Don’t want to derail so taking it to the job thread. If you’d like to enjoy some employer fuckery join me there. Both of my bosses again continued to go to a gym illegally. It’s one of the oddest things I’ve ever been involved in and I’ve seen some shit
My dad got tested last Tuesday and also hasn't heard anything, when he got tested they said 48 hours. Thank you Governor D!!!!
That's nuts. My body temp is usually right around 97.5. If I'm 100.4, I'd be sick as hell. Hoss Bonaventure I'm so sorry for this. PTO needing to be preapproved is some bullshit, too.
I’m not sure what the CDC guideline was, but I doubt the contractors covid protocols pulled that number out of their ass. I’ve had to say no to a couple projects because they couldn’t be completed maintaining 6’ social distancing. My company just next man upped them. I’m not assuming a liability the contractors spell out as a requirement in their protocols.
It is what it is. Should have saw this coming when I was “in training” and had my knuckle crushed and told not to report it because I’d be fired. That was for an office job. A salesman doing the same thing lost his finger a few weeks ago. Place is ridiculous
holy fuck the contrast between city and rural texas is amazing you can’t go some places in dallas without a mask by a few hours away i stop at a gas station that was entirely full of people and i was the only person masked up and people were looking at me like i was crazy
I'm having surgery on the 29th... I have to get tested on the 24th as prep for surgery. I'll return and report how awful it is. (I do not believe I have COVID)
not having read the article I could be way off but isn’t that the case? If you’re able to work from home you’re not as likely to be worried about opening back up.
I love when patients threaten to move to another pharmacy. Give me their number I will happily call them and get the pharmacist to fax over their patient profile.
can I get a tweet or something about florida being terrible about reporting I need to send it to some people
I look like an 80s euro tennis player right now, but I’ll look like Joe Dirt before I wait 3 hours at great clips
it's a touch misleading bc you'd have to factor in their social distancing guidelines so if they allowed 4 people at a time per spacing rules, then I could see how a wait list easily makes it 3+ hours
1000X this My wife and I are working from home, we could care less how long this goes. Our checks are still cashing my best friend owns a small T-shirt chain, they have 5 stores, we talked to him yesterday. His company is shot, they will have to declare bankruptcy. He spent the whole time pissed off about how our approach was all wrong and we destroyed every small business in America declaring them nonessential while every large business stayed open. Why is it safe to go to Home Depot but not his T-shirt store? Honestly I couldn’t answer him shit sucks
i pretty much have a mullet at this point combine that with all my tattoos and i look like a texas meth dealer rn
workers who have been furloughed/fired are more pro-distancing measures than average iirc. the people who have to face the risk are pretty tuned in, its the anti-vax sect that is pro-opening up, wealthy and white the two key indicators
Wife went to the grocery store yesterday and wore a Med-school tshirt. While waiting in the checkout line a boomer kept giving her the stink eye. Once he got to the cashier he started loudly giving his opinion to the cashier about how it’s all overblown and ridiculous, yadda yadda. Dude was too cowardly to give his opinion straight to her face so he had to subject some unfortunate soul to it. Very cool country we have.
Inciting all of his smart, well educated, reasonable and kind supporters. I’m sure nothing bad will happen from his continued cheering on of this.
Salt Lake Tribune article about a company that’s sticking with Work From Home because of increase in productivity and other benefits discovered in the Stay At Home phase. After employee productivity jumps, Young Living extends work-from-home plans to end of the year Lehi-based Young Living is telling more than 1,200 employees that they will continue to work from home through the end of the year. The maker of essential oils moved 95% of the employees at its U.S. headquarters in Lehi to remote work on March 13, following state recommendations to stem the spread of the coronavirus. Since then, the company claims its IT department has seen a 25% increase in productivity, and the company has had a 13% increase in sales. Having most of the workforce work from home, according to the company, has eliminated more than 20,000 pounds of carbon emissions every day (based on an estimated average 30-mile round trip commute, using the Utah TravelWiseemissions calculator). Jared Turner, Young Living’s president and COO, said he wasn’t sold on working from home regularly before the coronavirus pandemic, but “seeing the positive impact of additional flexibility has had on our employees, their families and the environment has given me a new perspective. The company says it will offer a range of online services to its employees who work from home and their families: Virtual fitness classes, homework aid for children, therapy and counseling services, training on remote work productivity and wellness, management training, and “happy hour” chats. The company is also providing laptops and headsets to employees who need them, and extended emergency leave to on-site employees who can’t work from home.
Lol essential oils. The guy probably just realized he can cut costs and make more money from the pyramid scheme.
Everything they do is to "own the libs." It is effective at getting their base energized, but as a governing strategy it kind of sucks tbqh
Typically that is the business model for the many essential oil, dietary supplement and other related companies. Not sure what Young Living’s is. But the profit motive is one of the things posters here keep bringing up as reasons to let them wfh.
Those armed 'Boogaloo' protesters won't be as easy to control as their GOP backers believe Trump's Nazification of the GOP is why there's serious discussion of killing off the 'unfit' both are from DK
If he actually allows the election to be held it’s going to be interesting to see armed thugs harassing voters at the polling places and the law enforcement agencies running the other way.
See How Likely You Are To Die Of COVID-19 With This Online Calculator By Dave BasnerMay 14, 2020 how likely they are to die from COVID-19 if they were to contract it. They created an online calculator at OurRisk.CoV that takes a person's age, sex and specific underlying health conditions like diabetes, obesity, heart disease or kidney issues, and assesses their chances of passing away from coronavirus. The researchers used statistics from health records of over 3.8 million people in England and determined 20% of the country's population is at high risk. Dr. Amitava Banerjee was in charge of the study and told The Sun, "Older people, those with one or more underlying conditions and their carers are asking what easing the lockdown might mean for their health. Using data modeling on a number of different scenarios, our findings show the mortality risk for these vulnerable groups increases significantly, and could lead to thousands of avoidable deaths." Their findings, which are published in the journal The Lancet, show that if lockdown restrictions are eased, the number of deaths will be significantly higher. The researchers hope their online calculator brings awareness to that and lets residents know how high their risk level is so they know how careful they should be if more places open in the coming weeks and months. Tragically, more than 300,000 people globally have died from coronavirus.
