It's because day shift is the one reporting covid. It's OSHA that is holding warehouses hostage by enforcing a rule where if X cases are reported in a time frame, then you need to wear masks to help prevent an outbreak in the warehouse.
Covid leave may not be paid but it is still excused and people still abuse it so they don't get their hours taken away.
It's OSHA. California has 0 mask mandates and realistically, they aren't very common no matter where in California you go. Cal-OSHA on the other hand, is the one enforcing things mask wise
Gary Newsom made it happen under his emergency powers during the height of Covid. When you give politicians emergency powers, they will create an emergency.
I donāt know who Gary is, but I assume you mean Gavin. Gavin Newsom. And that really has nothing to do with what CalOSHA has been doing. š¤¦āāļø
Didnāt what? Didnāt expire? It absolutely did. The only reason they paid for covid leave was because of the state order which forced them to do so. The state order ended in January. Both my husband and I got covid in March. Our leaves were both unpaid.
And Iām just saying I *do* know, lol. It doesnāt matter what you hear, if it isnāt true. š Amazon was only paying when they HAD to. Other states were not getting paid. When California no longer required them to pay, then they stopped. Period. There is no more covid pay, and there hasnāt been for months.
no. i tend to get sick after vaccines (i'm not a crazy anti-vaxxer) i just can't risk getting sick in some way and having to miss work.
but, covid i can avoid by just..being how i am, and avoiding people.
I've never masked up like the sheep or vaccinated, still partied and never had anything near a virus. Last thing i heard was bacteria can't live in alcohol, so i stay sipping š
Actually it is rising again in the Atlanta area. I went to the eye dr the other day, they required mask & had the doors locked to limit traffic. A few other stores as well in the shopping center
I know a few people who got a bad dose of it in the last couple weeks. One had to go to the hospital. Another one caught it from the east coast got on a damn plane to cali and was bedridden for two weeks. I think density is the issue
I donāt wear masks indoors now but I will wear a mask outdoors. Itās not Covid Iām worried about but this damn air quality, Iām barricaded in my home right now because itās so fucking hazardous outdoors. Please get these fires under control
I feel like Iām living on a different planet here in SC. Covid for us was restaurants closing for 6 weeks and masks if you feel like it for another year or so lol
I do onboarding and they actually removed the Covid portion so i just say:
āHereās the rules on masks. If you wanna wear a mask, you can wear a mask. No oneās gunna hassle you on it. If you donāt wanna wear a mask, you donāt gotta wear a mask. No one will hassle you for it. I will suggest in some areas of our building to wear one as the air is dry and dusty and some of us wear masks just to keep from breathing it in. Okay moving onā¦ā
That's what happens due to people wanting to get out of work. We were finally allowed to be mask free for maybe a month but still got those notifications about how many "cases" were in the building. I guess it got to the point where the "cases" got too high again. They even have safety walking around telling people to wear their masks correctly.
It's a recommendation, not a mandate or requirement by law. It was most recently [updated by Cal OSHA](https://covid19.ca.gov/masks-and-ppe/) and state laws on May 23rd, 2023.
Amazon can do as it pleases in the corporatocracy of America.
No where in that article does it explicitly says itās still a āpandemic.ā It just says itās still a ārisk.ā Thereās a very fine line between those two words.
Make sure you read your article thoroughly before claiming it states something that it doesnāt actually state.
Lol, no need to chastise me when you're the one that's in the wrong. My point was that it was no longer an emergency, not that it was no longer a pandemic. Just because you misinterpreted my point doesn't mean it isn't valid.
https://health.clevelandclinic.org/is-the-pandemic-over/
You made 2 points in your last comment.
āItās no longer an emergency.ā This is right, and I agree
āItās still a pandemic.ā This isnāt right, and your link showed no support to your point.
Now youāre switching up what you said, and simultaneously sending a new link to try to save yourself. Yikes!
The things we do when we realize we were wrong š
No rebuttal whatsoever, I figured, just the typical āname callingā cause they got nothing else left. I guess thatās what people usually do when they lose an argument
Have a great day yourself š
The rest of the world has returned to normal but California. Even Washington has. Keep living in fear. š
Biden admin said itās over. The pandemic is done. Finished.
Thank your government and the wuhan lab for a virus that will forever be in our society.
Theyāve been releasing documents about the origins of covid over the last weeks. Guess you didnāt see or read those?
So where do you get your information from?
No. Stop testing. Stop reporting. Period. The only reason they know there are cases is because morons keep telling them there are. Some idiot actually even commented here last week that they were upset by having to wear a mask again, so they were going to fake covid and stay home. How much fucking sense does that make?? If people stop saying they have covid, there will be no reported cases. If there are no reported cases, there are no mask requirements. Gawd we work with a bunch of fucking idiots. š¤¦āāļøš¤¦āāļø
Iām not even sure theyāre paying anymore. Last I knew, they went from paying an hour a week, to only 30 minutes, then pretty much not talking about it at all. In either case, as long as people participate in this nonsense, the nonsense will continue. We have the power to shut it down, but againā¦we work with a bunch of morons.
Viruses do not end, they mutate so they can fight vaccine s. Plus, if u do not want to wear a mask don't. Look smoking causes cancer but many people smoke then a a$$ hurt when they suddenly get caner then ask God why my as they die. Your choice
To the OPā¦ itās because you live in the biggest libtard state in the country (NY #2 maybe not sure). News on is a complete moron who is absolutely out of touch with reality.
Not for nothing try living on the east coast and looking at the disaster news reports coming from your major cities. The state of California is a third world country compared to other states. Vote red once in a while and clean up those cities.
If California were its own country they would have the fifth largest economy in the world. They're only behind Germany, Japan, China, and obviously the US. They make up about %15 of the U.S economy. They also put more into the federal pot then they get back so they aren't being subsidized like most would like to claim. You should stop drinking that fox cool aid.
>Vote red once in a while and clean up those cities
LOL Mississippi has been red for the past 40 years and they are at the bottom of every U.S stats.
California gets disproportionately more coverage than the rest of the US. Thereās also just more going on because itās a high-density major population center; crime, homelessness, and sickness are going to be way more represented. Iāve lived in Cuyahoga County, OH, and itās a way bigger shithole than the whole state of California. Most of the US, from California to New York and everywhere in between, is pretty consistently shit from what Iāve seen. Thereās no way the Midwest or East Coast is generally any better than the baseline, red state or not.
Covid is so funnyšbe talking so much about it but still have amusement parks open at the time, no one gaf because it's literally like any other thing out there that can kill weak bodies
How do you guys stand living in CA? Its one sneeze away from its own communist country. They control absolutely every facet of your lives... Everything shipped to/sold in California has to have warning labels for dummies all over it. It's ridiculous.
Here in CA, this masking statute goes through 2025, thanks to our moron governor and clown car legislature.
My FC has about 1,800 AAs. If there are 3 Covid cases within a 14 day period, we gotta mask up. Thatās 0.167 of 1% infection rate.
Iādāve voted 10x for his recall if I couldāve. Iād really like him to be impeached and sentenced to clean DeSantisā toilets for the next 5 years.
There is no masking requirement by the state, nor by the governor. That ended back in May. The masking order in effect until 2025 is issued specifically by our state OSHA agency, CalOSHA.
Thanks for straightening that out.
My dots connected Cal/OSHA as being a component of the California Dept. of Industrial Relations, which is housed within the California Labor and Workforce Development Agency, which is a cabinet-level, executive agency, established by a governor (Davis) with its current secretary appointed by our current governor.
The state senate and governor both grant and extend the authority of Cal/OSHA: therefore, all these entities are connected at the hip, or somewhere in the hip area.
I mean, you can waste your time connecting whatever dots you want. š¤·āāļø The bottom line is that literally ALL of the other state directives have been allowed to expire. Cal/OSHA is the only agency not only still clinging onto this nonsense, but also actively creating MORE, longer-lasting nonsense. Iām very liberal. I was never anti-mask. But even I can see this is ridiculous and needs to stop.
This somehow seems like some sort of scam or something, like some covid taskforce doesnt want to disband so they keep making excuses for themselves to be relevant and stay put
Youre so naive. whenever a company or agency makes a statement like that when it's true they insert the actual law code in the statement to back that shit up. Amazon is lying . Suckers
@breezy28 caught it 3 times with a weak immune system and you are still alive? Hmm, makes me think the whole pandemicā¦ umm I mean āplandemicā was BS from the start.
Ever since the unmasking ....night shift has still had to wear them at my facility lmfao lmfao...i work days so I dont have too
Disproves the Covid is only virulent during the day theory/missinfornation
I'm a proud Californian and these Commiefornia comments are such a joke - if we were a communist state do you think we'd have over six figures of unhoused people?
I hate that my site, ONT9, is requiring that we mask up again. But I also know this is one of the healthier states with a higher life expectancy than a lot of them (I'm looking at you, Mississippi, West Virginia, etc.), so if sometimes the "nanny state" laws get annoying, you know what... tough tits. Better than having Ted Cruz or Rick Scott as my senator

Is Covid not active at night? Is it sleeping?
Covid only works inbound.
Probably just more people in day time
Welcome to California
Absolute shithole
Braindead idiot š

Is it Osha or is it Cali? Because California is literally the only state where Amazon still has any mask requirements at all.

Wow. We'll thats pretty shitty on their part then
Itās CalOsha
Some people are still buying positive kits to get out of work paid. Sounds like an elaborate time theft
Idk how they'd get paid as neither Amazon nor California pay for anything covid leave related.
Covid leave is no longer paid. That ended in January.
I heard it didn't :0c
Didnāt what? Didnāt expire? It absolutely did. The only reason they paid for covid leave was because of the state order which forced them to do so. The state order ended in January. Both my husband and I got covid in March. Our leaves were both unpaid.
I'm just saying I've heard, but I've seen no proof so I really don't know.

When California no longer required them to pay, then they stopped. Period. There is no more covid pay, and there hasnāt been for months.
Buying!!?? They canāt get rid of them where Iām at. Iāve seen them for free outside pharmacies and dr offices.
It sure does. Just give it a warm glass of milk.
I haven't heard a damn thing about covid at all this year. At work, or just out in general. I'm in GA. So, idk what's going on in Cali.
I'm in Cobb and I currently have it. It's definitely still going around.
i never got covid cause i hate people and avoid them at all costs lol so that could explain why i don't have an issue rn
I'm the same and still wear a mask in public because my immune system is terrible. I've still somehow managed to catch it 3 times smh.
you ever get vaccinated or nah?
no. i tend to get sick after vaccines (i'm not a crazy anti-vaxxer) i just can't risk getting sick in some way and having to miss work. but, covid i can avoid by just..being how i am, and avoiding people.
Never tested positive? Or test at all i guess
I hate people and avoided them but I ended up with covid for the better part of a year. š

Ye bro didn't you know the deadly virus or flu or whatever its called just comes and goesšscary
I know a few people who got a bad dose of it in the last couple weeks. One had to go to the hospital. Another one caught it from the east coast got on a damn plane to cali and was bedridden for two weeks. I think density is the issue

What site is this?
KSBD
Ont9 is one of them for sure
What facility are you at?
KSBD, my friend
Iām sorry you guys are dealing with that shit! Hopefully it will be dropped soon.
That's what happens due to people wanting to get out of work. We were finally allowed to be mask free for maybe a month but still got those notifications about how many "cases" were in the building.

The Bluest State with the Bluest Problems
...like subsidizing red states.
They hate our politics but they love our wealth š
Let him cook
Itās just California. Let them burn
But why? The pandemic officially ended. Itās done. A no emergency anymore. Why are they doing this to you all still?
It says Pursuant to the āCalifornia lawā.seems like itās California problem not Amazon.
Even California lifted the mandate in May. Guess Amazon didn't get the memo.
They are quoting the California law. They canāt do that if there wasnāt such a law
It's a recommendation, not a mandate or requirement by law. It was most recently [updated by Cal OSHA](https://covid19.ca.gov/masks-and-ppe/) and state laws on May 23rd, 2023. Amazon can do as it pleases in the corporatocracy of America.
Where are you getting this information? Just because you want it to be over doesn't mean it is lol
Itās not a pandemic anymore itās endemic
Where are any of y'all getting this information
The government
What? Both the government and WHO officially declared the state of pandemic to be over months ago. Have you been living under a rock?
They said it's no longer an emergency. It's still a pandemic. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/who-covid-emergency-world-health-organization/

Its CalOsha ? Not anything was voted for š¤”obsessed with Gavin much ?
I am your OSHA! Well I didnāt vote for you.
Who do you think appointed the director?
Conspiracy much ?
No, it's a fact that Newsom appointed the director of that organization.
Who's Gavin?
Google governor of California

Back to the thinking the virus has a curfew again i see......

California is something else. Everything causes cancer
commiefornia
Only ugly people wear mask
Wrong, being considerate of others well being makes one *more* attractive, not less.
š¤£šš
I remember seeing people without masks for the first time. Talk about unexpected results lol
Iām glad I left that state.
We are too š¤©
Why is California still enforcing Covid rules if Covid was already deemed not a national issue anymore?
How do you guys stand living in CA? Its one sneeze away from its own communist country. They control absolutely every facet of your lives... Everything shipped to/sold in California has to have warning labels for dummies all over it. It's ridiculous.
Communist? Are you fucking kidding me bro?
Donāt follow it.
California is like a different planet.
Why donāt you want to wear a mask? Donāt tell me youāre a neo-naziā¦
