My employer isnt letting us out of work it's another part of the covid situation that is really pissing me off. They arent taking it seriously and are coming up with these half asses "measures" to keep us safe like taking our temperature before we clock in and having us take separate breaks. No more than 10 people in the break room, yet yesterday they threw a pizza party! And ordered pizza take out for everyone! Yea I'm serious no I'm not joking and NO I didnt eat it!! They fired a guy yesterday for refusing to come to work. The guy has a new born baby and he called is really worried about it. He called in our 3rd day sick then called in again our 4th day and said he didnt feel safe working with this covid and he wouldnt be in the rest of the week and they told him to not worry about it because he was terminated! These people are ruthless corporate assholes! I'm taking vacation next week and the week after and during that time I'm going to do a online doctor's appointment and try to get fmla for stress or anxiety or something so if it gets really bad in this area I can miss without getting fired. Its bullshit that companies operate like this but I cant afford to loose my job and surely cant afford to start over right now. I have 15 years with this place the money is good I have accumulated a lot of vacation time. But all that isnt worth me and my families health.
