I was torn up because I had to fire a switchboard operator who just couldn't make it in on time. It's one of those jobs where you have to be there when the business says it's open. She got some warnings and then within a week she was late again. I had to fire her. During the termination meeting she said "This is harder for you than it is for me."
Not really. But she didn't care much. She knew what the rest of us learned from COVID. Your life doesn't depend on your job. Shortly after this event she went to Africa.
