It's been 3 years, companies need to stop blaming everything on Covid. Your bus is running late? Covid. More wildfires? Covid. Wow, just wow.

I stubbed my toe. 😷

YEEES, enough stop, COVID was a pandemic, not a letter to get out of monopoly-type problems.

Everyone using COVID is incredible, but the worst are the politicians, covid is the holy grail of politicians to get away with problems.

Actually, less than 3 years have passed, since the pandemic stopped in our country at the end of 2021, but there are still industries that are affected by COVID, now they are all and I am sure that in all possible industries we will find companies that They still use the covid as an excuse.

A curious fact is that production stopped for months in many areas and many used that time to do overdue maintenance, despite preparing all the machinery again, people continue to look bad and blame a pandemic that was raised more than a year and a half.

There are many companies without morals that use an excuse as bad as that, but worse is the public or political companies that have that as their main shield, what a real disaster.

It cannot be denied that covid 19 wreaked havoc in many industries and in many families, but it is not fair that it is used as an excuse for not doing something well or not delivering it on time.

I didn't apply for a job that would have set me up for the future in the government. I wouldn't have to worry about money or future jobs.

I now severely regret not applying for the job and cannot stop thinking about it to the point of insomnia and depression. I even contacted the employer but too late. It's a small town and rarely anything comes up. I hate myself and feel like I failed my family. :(
