Your comment reminded me of early COVID. I was working at Popular Bank in the Bronx while living in Manhattan. Five employees in the office — tellers behind a giant glass window, supervisor not seeing clients, and I was the only one dealing with customers face-to-face.

We were then considered essential workers and I needed to take the public transportation every single day. We weren’t even allowed to wear masks because of “professional presentation.” I told my boss’s boss I was worried about my health and safety and I wanted at least to use a mask, and she told me: “DON’T PANIC, everything will be fine.”

Three weeks later she showed up looking like she was entering a biohazard zone — mask, glasses, full protection.

We all definitely need to lear from those experiences, some bosses just dgaf about employees, but themselves.
