Or maybe you should just go to work and not worry about what others are getting.

You'd have to be an idiot to get fired to collect money for a short period of time.

And if you get fired, they don't even have to pay you anything. It's if you get laid off they pay you, not fired.

neither... it was meant as a joke but in reality is not a joke.... 900 a week is 22.50 an hr atleast 50 percent of the "essential work force" in the us is makin way less than that while they risk their lives to provide necessities... i am not against upping the unemployment to help those that need it but there are those out there that needed the help before this hit and those essential workers riskin their lives are doing it for way less... the dark joke is 900 a week would be incentive to just purposely get fired and end up bringin home more money then you would if you kept working ... i work for boeing im considered an essential employee even tho most airlines are grounded atleast im lucky to have a job for now... 900 a week would be a very decent pay increase for me but i am not one who works the system even tho my tax dollars go to all those govt assistance programs that people do game i do not get any tax breaks nor do i qualify for any of them even tho on my wage it is very tough to pay a 1000 dollar mortgage all the utilities car note car ins and food but i do it and i do it all by my damn self without any help or govt assistance... and besides i wouldnt leave my job because there would be no garauntee of being able to get one once this is over

You work at Boeing yet you present yourself by typing like a fifth grader? Are you not worried that your employer might be a bit upset by you coming to a cannabis growing forum and speaking this way?

Yeah, not buying.

typing like a 5th grader because i dont feel the need to use proper punctuation in an improper setting? and im definitely not daft enough to use my government name on a site like this or any site i sign up for for that matter and def not daft enough to use a work device to be on here so no no worries here lol

Who are you to adjudicate this setting as improper?

Right.

People don't change their ways of communication based on location. It takes no less time to properly capitalize and punctuate sentences than it does to ramble off the way you do.

Besides, you're saying that we're not as important as other people in your life to put in the effort to communicate clearly and properly with?

In all fairness, even Boeing has laborers and, since they said they make less than $900 a week, I'm willing to bet they are a laborer or a lower level employee.

It doesn't matter what position the person holds, even if true. He stated publicly that he asked his employer (Boeing) lay him off for the Employment Insurance, and then claimed his direct superior advised him to punch another employee (Tiffany, by name) in the face.

That kind of shit isn't even funny outside of the current pandemic.

Even govt contractor employees are permitted to joke from time to time. I was in the USAF for 2 enlistments and there was no shortage of joking around or horseplay. Even if his supervisor said that, I'd be willing to bet they were joking, and probably laughed when they said it to make it clear it was a joke.

I don't think Boeing has laborers anymore, no large corporation has laborers anymore. Everybody has a tech title, even if they just ride around on mobile equipment all day.

Everybody is hired and then trained at a semi skilled position, just like the company I worked at. When I got hired they had laborers, not since the 1990s though.

The janitorial service was a bit different though ;-).
And they were an outside contractor.

definitely was a joke and my boss has a sense of humor and knew it was a joke also. just my way of saying damn with what i make id be better off unemployed thru this not that i want to be... if i told yall what i make youd feel bad for me lol, i am middle class and single so i work my ass off to be where i am today (meaning the simple shit like having my own house car providing for myself and doing it all on a limited income) thats why i said im too proud to live off the govt. i dont knock those that need the assistance and its a good thing they did something for the thousands this is effecting just dont necessarily believe a blanket increase was the best move... and not that yall are beneath proper grammar and puncuation, just that theres a time and place for everything and knowin your audience is part of that... didnt think a bunch of stoners and or just growers prolly lots of which are doing it illegally would care about punctuation and grammar... that is all... what started as a joke blew a high i didnt even smoke yet lol

That kind of talk would never happen between 2 employees at a company that size, they’d be gone in a minute especially through company email

Oh please. I know so many high level govt employees and even high level commissioned officers who have a sense of humor. I currently still work with some huge govt contractors, and you think they don’t have enough of a sense of humor to be able to joke that way on the job? I’ve done a lot of work at Raytheon, where they are so strict that I had to have an escort every time I had to take a piss, and even they had a great sense of humor.
