I'm a tad jealous of people who got to do this. My work just got busier. It was like normal except people were dying and I had all my groceries delivered.
Ah yes. As an "essential worker" it was nice that for about 3.5 minutes it was acknowledged that all of us "unskilled" workers were required for society to function and then get nothing for it except more work and exposure to to a deadly disease.
Don't forget the "Heroes work here" banners! Those were nice
"we spent a ton of money on these meaningless banners, posters and out of touch ad campaigns to get people to buy from us."
"Sorry, times are tough, we have to lay off a bunch of you, and we can't afford to give anyone raises. But, to show we are all in this together, I have volunteered my 3rd spare car for a charity raffle. All of you will buy tickets, starting at the low cost of a banana. That's right only fifty dollars, all proceeds will be donated to the children in need in my house. So please think of the children during these trying time for your chance to win a nft signed photo of my 3rd spare car, and remember it's for the needy children."
They put up a big sign thanking all us essential workers. I wanted to torch it so bad. Pay me more you peices of fucking crap!
Now let's all hang out of our windows and bang some pans together, because we care
Yeah I’m a software engineer so the only thing that changed was I got to wear more comfortable pants and didn’t have to drive to work. I still felt mentally exhausted after working all day and didn’t have the energy to pursue any hobbies
I'm a software engineer too. I'll tell you what changed. I have a kid. Daycare was shut down, but since both my wife and I can work from home we were expected to do just that. We got to spend a lot of time with the then two year old, but hardly saw each other except for the back of the head because one of us was always working. What was your corona project? Surviving, that's what!
Consider finding a better workplace. It only gets easier as you have more experience.
Yuuuup. I've literally never wanted to leave my house, quarantine sounds like a dream. But nooo....
