I happened to get into a conversation with a manager at a Home Depot store. Manager seemed like a sheep, but I danced around certain topics.

Some of you might already know this. I suspected it, but could not get any hard evidence. Until now.

Employees at Home Depot must take regular "Covid tests" (which around here, we all know are bullshit).

They must submit these fake test results to the company. If they do not, then THEY DO NOT GET THEIR PAYCHECK.

ALL of these fake Covid tests are sent to Atlanta. There, somebody supposedly comes up with a result.

Any employee who tests "positive" for the fake Covid test, but does NOT show ANY symptoms (i.e. they are NOT sick), MUST take 5 days off work.

ME: "Interesting. Is that paid or unpaid?"

Mgr: "Paid."

So many businesses are complaining that they can't keep a full staff. Well, no fucking wonder -- these fake tests are resulting in fake positives, and the employees are getting free, paid vacations EVERY TIME they roll the dice and win.
