Should I call out of work again tomorrow and ride the covid train? - Upgoat

Should I call out of work again tomorrow and ride the covid train?

I work in big tech. I was sick all last week with the flu. Should I call out again tomorrow and milk this while it lasts?

My morality is telling me no, but when I think about the evil company I work for and how they will eventually fire me for my freedom, I think yes.

Fuck 'em. Call out, say it mutated to the Omega Flumatron 9000 and symptoms include making queers straight.

Wow most of my team would be worried. A bunch of real life fags who are paraded around for being fags.

Pretty sure that one of the reasons that is contributing to the perpetuation of this farce is the people that make themselves complicit in the fraud by taking advantage of it.

I'm actually in the same boat. They pay us a covid pay and nobody loses any money.

They tried to demand us tell them our vaccination status and I ignored it fuck them and they back tracked after the courts got involved.

If it's a kike company take advantage of it they take advantage of you. I think it's BS when people call it free loading like you need to work your ass off for these assholes.

My team became substandard when they started diversity hiring and outsourcing to China.

Can you “work from home”?

I am working from home, but trust me it is still depressing. I just stare at the computer all day, at home. Lately I feel no motivation at work, I hardly do anything. I am not depressed or anything, just losing interest in a company that I know wants me fired for not getting vaxed.

If you have paid sick days to burn and you don’t feel like sitting in front of a screen, you may as well. That said, today is your day off and you are in front of a screen so maybe it’s just as well you clock in and do nothing.

Clock in and doing nothing is the answer. Once you think they may be catching on, that's when you "get covid".

If you haven't, watch Office Space. Get your 15 minutes of work in each day.
