What if advertising agencies started a program that allowed employees to take time to volunteer as a healthcare worker and remain paid and insured? Like the family leave act but for our country?

It’s a nice idea, but if they can’t even afford to keep people on working full time on client paying work, I doubt they’d be able to afford letting people go do something that doesn’t bring in more money. Not many companies would be able to afford such a thing.

Thank you for your cynicism. I didnt mean practicing medicine I mean volunteering at hospitals, food banks, clinics. You know, to help people? Since projects and assignments are slowing to nothing, it would be a way to… Oh forget it. The negativity of advertising agency people can never be overstated

I think your idea is heading in the right direction, but sadly, not very practical. There is a really steep learning curve for medical work, even if you are doing environmental services (cleaning and stocking.) I say this from experience as I worked as an admitting clerk at a hospital at the beginnings of the AIDS epidemic. Too many unknowns then and now.

With all that said, I appreciate your wanting to help. Perhaps donatng blood, working on PSAs, or reaching out to isolated and marginalized folks would be more practical?
