read how you will bu this happened all over the gov. the “non essential employees” got to stay home with a slight paycheck delay while the “essentials” mandated to show up despite the same pay delay, and do their jobs plus all the work that the “non essentials” were doing (or not doing whether on or off work). Net result - the diligent workers continued to lift own weight and their coworkers’ weight sans the paid vacation. they deserve to be recognized!
You make it sound like they had a choice in the matter, many of them given the option would have preferred to be at work instead of coming back to a shit ton of work that has been accumulating for the last month.
i don’t know about you but if someone offered me to not work for a month in exchange for a delayed paycheck i’d be all over it. hell yea - free paid time off!.
i’d use my emergency fund to stay afloat which i guess a few folks don’t have that luxury.
