I do not agree, I work remotely and I feel that my boss demands more from me than from the office staff.
Exactly, we should have better benefits and more awareness but it is the opposite. I really don't understand
cause i'm so essential they're willing to give me what I want.
When you're actually considered essential, you have bargaining power. The whole "essential" worker trend was just empty posturing by mediocre leaders looking to get grace
sorry you got duped into thinking your company actually values you. Truth is, they'll get rid of you without thinking twice about it and you should reciprocate that courtesy
The essential worker thing is a sham, if your bosses genuinely thought of you as valuable or essential, they would provide you with appropriate compensation and benefits that reflect that. Don't let their hollow words convince you of something that is not true.
I'm essential to running their business and maximizing their profits, that doesn't mean i'm indispensable lol
I think what they really mean is that our roles are essential, not that the actual humans working those jobs are essential. We're just little cogs in their business to them, and they can just get new ones whenever they want, at least with the current power dynamic between labor and capital
"Essential workers" started as an important distinction and quickly became a way for companies to manipulate employees. "We value you, you're ESSENTIAL" (but not essential enough to treat well).
