- SwanRonson 6y agoStill quite an exaggeration, since most of the (ex) service workers I know are going to coffee bars and sharing joints. I’ve seen a few teachers unions get busted for coordinating vacations abroad while they boycotted in-class learning because it was an “unnecessary risk”. The reality is, a lot of people are abusing the temporary safety nets to avoid what they see as inconveniences because it’s a once in a lifetime opportunity and probably won’t come back to bite them.
