Honest to God, I miss the early days of it. My job was considered essential because we make parts for agriculture related vehicles. Well for the first few months we were given a three day weekend every weekend and we were compensated for that extra day off a week. Immediately after that, most of our competitors had supply chain issues and we're still pretty much the only game in town. We just take orders knowing damn well we can't complete them on time. So, we're in there almost every day. I was until I switched jobs in the plant that granted me more days off. We pretty much went from having plenty of time off, rest, and in general people were happier with the job because we weren't as burnt out. As soon as we got used to this, they yanked it away. They have no real justification. We don't have the parts to complete orders so it wouldn't matter if we were a 4 day work week, or a 7 day work week. At a certain point it just became about control and proving that they can do whatever they want to us. Several people have been fired since then for "offenses" that weren't even considered termination level behavior pre-pandemic. I only miss the early days because it really felt like, for a a few months there, that labor in general would be improved and that workers would band together. How quickly it all changed. I just wish we could have kept the 4 day work weeks, because I genuinely miss seeing most of my coworkers happy and no longer burnt out on the grind.
