I notice no government slugs suffered the same fate. They were paid to stay home. What is wrong with this picture?
We all know that government employees will never be held to the same standard as private employees.
I have seen this same victim hood at my own job. People are fired for absences and the last absence is something like a family emergency, so they scream victim hood. I tell them they are not fired because of the latest absence it was the other 10 times this year that they failed to plan their absence. You know every time you just couldn’t see getting to work.
I am sure that these people who lost their jobs are the employees that were walking a fine line anyway and this was a perfect time to cull the herd.

I had a gov’t job for years where I was emergency/essential personnel. I was expected to show up or at least try very hard even when the rest of the gov’t was closed. One day when we had about a foot of snow I couldn’t get in. After that I bought a big SUV and never missed a day for weather.
The days that the gov’t was closed, trust me, it was a wise decision. The streets were impassable and I’m sure many lives were saved by telling people to stay home.
