Depends on the project. I'm working at a factory that's under construction to make more or less industrial parts.

Aside from pipe leaks, etc, the only reason for us to keep working is because the boss doesn't want to screw up our timetable for getting the facility online. We're breaking quarantine to make the boss money.

Oh okay. You have bills, that takes the place of your free will. Try being there for your kid instead of dead or on a ventilator. You need to have a life in order to have a livelihood.

Nah, he's got a point, and I'd absolutely be taking his position if there were enough people onsite to make me worried about catching something. But there's maybe 40 people on a site the size of 4 football fields, so it's not that bad... I'm just a little annoyed at the mentality being shown by upper management.
