Not surprised when the government tried to pretend that COVID isn't a problem anymore
No just that. Even stores did away with measures to protect their staff and shoppers: removing clear plexiglass at cash registers, getting rid of hand sanitizer, removing social distancing markers on the floor, etc.
Because the government isn't madating anything anymore. They're all just pretending like it doesn't exist anymore
But stores already had these things in place, and the original investment/cost was already spent.
Removing those safeguards seems to have been done out of spite. And to whose benefit? It just creates additional strain on employees, who will get sick more often.
Yeah, but then the staff get sick and they can find some reason to cut their hours or fire them. Then replace them with new hires that are paid less and get less in benefits and compensation.
