[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I work in healthcare so I'm fortunate to have a job. I know many  have lost their job and I feel for them. However, we are desperate to hire in healthcare. You don't have to be a nurse or other healthcare professional. We are desperate for people to work as transporters, registration clerks, patient care assistants, safety sitters, phlebotomists, dietary techs, housekeepers... the list goes on and on. These are all jobs that offer a few weeks of OJT and you're good to go.

I don't understand why people who have lost their job are not applying for these positions. They are not highly paid, we pay in the $13-18 per hour range plus shift and weekend differential, but some money and benefits is better than no money and benefits. Oh, and benefit cost is sliding scale based on wage so the cost to insure yourself is zero and to insure your family is kept low.[/quote]

First of all, that pay range is atrocious.

Secondly, if you're working for a healthcare provider, you are exposing yourself to COVID infected patients.[/quote]
Thanks Einstein, the people working in healthcare didn't know that. :roll: [/quote]

Someone thinks it's worth it to sacrifice your life for $13/hr, while individuals like Joel Osteen are banking big bucks for doing nothing.  So, yeah, someone out there apparently didn't know that.[/quote]
The point is, if you lost your service industry job, there are other jobs out there. Maybe we should all quit our jobs and do nothing because of you know, COVID. [/quote]

Why not?  That's what Joel Osteen is doing, and he has a $200K Ferrari to show for it.[/quote]
Maybe you should open a mega church and report back here and let us know how it's going. In the meantime, does Osteen know he lives rent-free in your head?[/quote]
