We worked through Pandemic, (work in the print trade) and the whole industry haven't seen pay rises for many many years. Bit like average garages, mechanics etc and lots of other manual jobs, many of which also didn't stop or take "Free" money. All this whilst 2 of my NHS working neighbours took 6 weeks off at the start of the pandemic for "Coughs" and "Symptoms"
My wife on the other hand also NHS got re-deployed onto the Covid wards as a Porter..wheeling the dead about!...from a desk job in Breast Screening...seems some people get lucky eh!
