I’ve actually listened to these people. These are the same people we all worked next to throughout the entire pandemic, with zero workplace issues arising. They all have their own reasons for walking off of the job, none of which fit neatly into your straw man.
None of us would have forced them into early retirement or outright termination. None of us had any problems showing up to work since the pandemic hit. It wasn’t our choice to set these conditions forth. None of us decided that’s how it is going to be.
A demented buffoon who likes to paw and sniff scared little girls did.
