I haven’t received my stimulus check either. Which is very strange. Because I work with my brother and we filed our taxes, the last 2 years in a row, at the same time. And I’ve had everything set up as far as direct deposit is concerned for 5 years now. Yet, he got his the other day, and I did not. With all this work I’m missing due to being sick (which my job is not paying for), I actually could use that stimulus right about now. My job are stingy fucks tbh. No hazard pay for working during a pandemic, no bonus of any kind, no paid leave when they refuse to allow me to come to work, etc. I mean I wouldn’t be coming to work anyway, but that’s not the point. I am technically being punished for telling them I had symptoms. This sets a very dangerous precedent. Meaning, if they don’t pay me to stay at home, others who have symptoms may keep it to themselves and get tested quietly. Which means they could be infecting people every day. And yes, a lot of my coworkers would absolutely do that if they couldn’t afford to lose even a days worth of a paycheck, let alone a week or longer.
This entire situation is fucked on every single level. From the small day to day stuff, to the huge national long term stuff. smfh
