It is calendar year 3 of the plague and businesses and workers are still struggling to navigate life in the midst of a pandemic. Instead of temporarily closing shop or hiring more people, many businesses are depending on fewer employees to pick up the slack when their coworkers get sick, and workers have had enough of the abuse and inconsideration. One such frustrated worker is TikToker @thelovieshow, who recently shared a conversation they had with their employer on speaker phone. In the video, the manager is explaining that they're short-staffed and need @thelovieshow to come in even though they're not on the schedule. @thelovieshow simply says, "yeah...no" and hangs up. The video must have resonated with a lot of people, because the comment section is full of supportive responses and positive reactions. "Normalize 'no' and hanging up" said one TikToker. Watch the video and see what people said in the comments.
