I'm sad and scared - Employer forcing me to attend work in person

Posted on 07/13/2021 1:27:15 PM PDT by freebird5850

I have been working from home since Feb 2020 in Wa state. In my job role there is no reason for me to be in office since all assembly labor has been transferred out of state. Now they are forcing us to attend in person for a minimum of 3 days a week. The DOH website states that covid is mutating into different variants and the vaccines in some cases less effective. This excerpted directly from DOH Wa, "The detection of these COVID-19 variants in our state reminds us that this pandemic is not over. Now that these variants have been found, it is critical to double down on all the prevention measures to protect Washingtonians against COVID-19. I'm sad and very scared.

Just make sure you have your will and last testament all ready in case you go quick. And make sure you’re right with God. Good luck 👍🏻

As I have learned from a dear FReeper here whenever I have said, “I didn’t have another choice” I was lying to myself. There is always another choice.

Imagine owning a business knowing some percent of your workers were too afraid of their shadow to come out and do a job you’re paying them to do.

Simple answer is quit and go on welfare or find a good paying online job.

Don’t go to work, don’t get paid, lose job. Find another shoulder to cry on. What a pussy.

“from the DOH website”

Well, there’s the problem. That’s the Homer Simpson site. Doh!

“...I have been working from home since Feb 2020...”

Q: What is different now than in January 2020?
A: You have allowed the media to frighten you.

"I had COVID. Middle aged guy, but very fit. It was no big deal. I slept for a week."

I had COVID (Read: Chinese Communist Party Virus) also. Mid 70's guy, fit for my age, bad case of flu symptoms, not much appetite, and lost 12 lbs which was a blessing. I relied on my own T-Cells to create the antibodies necessary to win the fight. These people that are scared to death have no faith in their own capabilities. Remember: "What you fear, you will experience."

You could die in a car wreck on the way to the grocery store tomorrow.

COVID is the least of your worries.

Why don’t you just bow down to Jesus, repent and call out to Him?

You’ll never worry about death again if you do.

*** Again, from the DOH website which I think is the authority for our health concerns yes?***

Herein, my FRiend, and I do mean that genuinely, is one part of your problem. You don’t trust the government with the vaccine, but you do trust the government in the rest of their CoVid response.

That’s a bit on the crazy almost ironic side of things. You are old enough and wise enough to see through some of the false information you’ve been fed, but somehow you buy into the other part.

If you are someone who is indeed immune deprived, then go get a complete work up and find out what your real health problem is. There may be something you are overlooking.

As for having pneumonia in the summer, you should realize that pneumonia, whether bacterial or viral in origin, has no seasonality to it. It can happen at any time of year.

Also, if I’m being perfectly honest here, hasn’t your company given you bits and pieces of updates and new information fairly regularly throughout the last year as to what and when they were expecting to reopen and have all employees back? I know that everyone I know has had emails from their companies that were frequently updated, almost every week or so. I suspect the same is true for your company. In which case, you had to have realized that at some point you were GOING TO BE REQUIRED to show back up in person. How have you been preparing for this moment in the last year, and especially in the last several months? Did you just hope and pray that you would be exempt? It sorta sounds like that.

I hope I’m not being too harsh. I am concerned about people who believe certain lies the government tells them, and not others. I have a dear friend who hates the media as much as I do, but believes every bit of BS they throw at her in regards to CoVid. She suspended all rational thought once the CoVid news started coming, and all because of fear. They got her, and they got YOU. You are smarter than that. As I mentioned in a previous post, pathogens of every different type have been surrounding you everywhere you are, for your whole life. For some reason, NOW you’ve decided that it is too risky to live your life. Hey, FRiend, news flash...it has ALWAYS been risky to live your life. You weren’t safe going in to the office before CoVid either, but the difference is that you THOUGHT you were!

Again, I stress, I post these thoughts to you in the most loving and kind way. I hope you find courage to face the demons you are really facing, and not making up pretend ones that aren’t there. Good luck, and God bless you, FRiend.

P.S. Please consider others here may be giving you what is known as tough LOVE. In general, FReepers want the best for each other. I know I do.

I think you will do fine at work. Please don’t feel uptight over it. You’ve been around in stores and restaurants through this time and have been okay.

Businesses haven’t yet fully come to grips with the real estate they pay for, going unused. They still have the leases, after all.

Take the standard supplements mentioned many times on Free Republic, and keep the contact information for good online doctors who will prescribe what you need, if infected:

Give blood one time with the Red Cross. You will get an antibody test with results, two weeks later.

It was a general comment not for you. Sorry you took it personally but turn down the rhetoric.

Hey pal, you are supposed to make general comments to the guy who posted the article which would be comment #1, not some other person and piss them off. Get it right or go elsewhere; if you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen along with your snark.
