5 to 7am I walk up to the orientation/safety trailer with my gear slung over my shoulder and I ask the dude there outside with the radio for orientation. He's got a mask on. Tells me to put mine on to which I say, not outside. SIX FEET AWAY he says, mask on. Not outside, I repeat. I'm not spitting on you. WHEN YOU'RE SIX FEET AWAY PUT YOUR MASK ON he yells. Why are you getting mad? I ask. I think he mumbled not mad, said something else I can't recall, and stormed off. There's bunch of people there, all masked of course. I'm the only one and Everyone's looking at me. Meh. He comes back and we all go in for orientation. lol.

I'm up on the lift and he walks by, scans me. I'll be there for two weeks.

To be fair- this particular guy might not believe in this shit. A lot of people have been forced to enforce nonsense covid mandates under threat of losing their jobs.

Being a safety officer is a cushy job. Like 3/4 of their job is just "justify my job", and the other 1/4 is enforcing obvious rules and subjecting people who actually work to stupid presentations about why it's not good to put your hand into moving machinery. But the coof gave these retards a whoooole lot more shit to do- it justifies their job for them (probably justifies hiring a few more, just to be extra super safe) but it now makes them somewhat responsible for anything that happens coof-related.

So if the guy is lax on mask wearing, even though corporate told him "masks always, period", and then suddenly one day one of his crew guys ends up testing positive and they have to shut down the operation to get everyone tested... he's the fall guy. "It was your responsibility to keep everyone safe from the coof, and you didn't make them wear masks. This is your fault that we are losing hundreds of thousands of dollars, safety-fag!"

Everything about covid mandates seems engineered subtly to somehow pit citizens vs. citizens on personal, romantic, and professional levels...
