Sucked cause I had to work through the whole thing. Watching everyone else getting 8 months of paid leave and I thought we would get the same once it was over but we never did. Biggest bullshit of my life.

No, because I was made to work in the office and then they got COVID in nearly died (that'll show them), so I don't have has rose tinted vision of lockdown with maybe some people have.

It was fun to see how guilty my boss looked. I liked that bit.

No. Still had to work retail full time but now with the extra spicy chance I may inadvertently kill my parents in the process! Also everyone got meaner and more selfish. So, thanks for that.

Not really sustainable, I don't think. There were shortages of all sorts of food and supplies in the first year alone. Also, during that time the rich got a lot richer.

Yeah, it seems like people forgot about the PPP "loans" which were basically a 5 o'clock free money giveaway for the wealthy.

Not sure about this. Normally i love staying at home for extended periods of time. Lockdown was a different kind of breed though. After a month i felt seriously depressed but i guess part of it was the pressure from the coming exams i had to write

Yet, we are forced to return to the office because PrOdUcTiViTy and pRoFiTs, even though every study that looked into such matters generally found that productivity rose during WFH/COVID.

Yay! Is it the future yet?

My plants all died in the end, except my persimmon tree :)

In this thread everyone was a work martyr and no one had time off. As Marsha said in the Brady Bunch "Sure Jan".
