Nova Scotia’s response to the novel coronavirus was among the most cautious in the world and he thought it was a safe bet.Photo by Alex Lupul/The Canadian Press “They refused to accommodate me and I kept adapting to new levels of risk,” MacLeod said. “But they kept pushing and I don’t think I should have to jeopardize my health for work. So I quit.”Experts say the easing of government pandemic restrictions leaves little room for workers to push back against return-to-office mandates.“A lot of workplaces take their cues from government,” employment lawyer Hermie Abraham said.
While employers may not be legally required to accommodate pandemic-wary workers, it might still be a good idea.high of nearly one million open positions in the second quarter, Statistics Canada reported.
Show up or your fired
So full of crap. They just don’t want to commute back to an office. Stop being so disingenuous.
Hahahahahahhahahah can't wait for these people to be fired. No more idiocy and bed wetting to the lowest common denominator
If these people are vaccinated why are they worried about covid?
No worries. Once they are part of recession lay offs, they start worrying about the real stuff like food and roof over their heads
Wear a mask..that is what everyone did prior to a vaccine for COVID19.
It would be horrible to have what is nothing more than a cold now. Whatever will the panty-waisted ninnies do?
Sounds like another propaganda campaign to try to make people scared
DefundCBC TrudeauHasGotToGo TrudeauResign TrudeauMustGo TrudeauMustGoNow TrudeauMustGoToJail
Such crap...get your asses back to work
It’s a flu for christs sake!
It's called seasonality and it happens every year since the beginning of time.
Be gone corporate media. Nobody takes you seriously anymore
Only the weak minded are worried. The majority don’t gaf.
Worker. One worker.
National Post
Oh bug off…most of us are already back at work and fine. Stop the fear.
Boy, did their government ever do a number on them.
Federal workers... those that don’t want to work 8 hours a day...
Who are these workers?
Fire them - because decisions have repercussions. Am I doing it right?
Keep your vaccinations up to date and you’ll have little to worry about!
Work?
Get back to work already!!!
Fire their lazy asses.
They need to put on their big boy pants and grow up.
That horse has been dead for 2 years
Oh stop it. You're just being silly.
Probably 5 % worried. Rest don't even think about it
The sky is falling, the sky is falling.
Bullshit that workers are worried. Are workers afraid to go to the office every fall when cold and flu season starts up, I mean really!!
What? There are people still not back in office? We were remote for a single month here! What the hell are they afraid about?
More likely they are just getting far to used to the lower accountability if working from home.
this may surprise boomers to learn but when you don't do your job, online or in-person, you lose your job. why do you think people aren't doing their work at home when every study says otherwise? stop shilling for corporate real estate interests, we can live better lives
same person that dont want to back to the office will be the same person in a stadium full of people😅
Not me...just another day going to work unvaxed being a superspreder (while I haven't been sick since Nov 2019)
Bwahahaha... go away. Really just go away
Where is OSHA?
They're not worried about covid. They're worried about not being able to work in their pajamas anymore.
Everything has been open for months. Give it a rest. Your article makes zero sense.
meanwhile millions never stopped working in the public and are perfectly fine😂
L O L They aren't worried, they just don't want to go back
Oooh! I love early '20s covid noir stories!
Can we survey these workers to see who is anxious about COVID and who is anxious about wearing non-elastic pants? Obviously there’s perks to working from home that the coddled class doesn’t want to give up.
And the government and revelant agencies are saying while long Covid rips society to pieces
Huh? I’ve been back in person for over a year.
I don’t blame them, I’m sure it’s hard to give up 2.5 years of lounging around in pajamas, “working” from the beach, and day drinking.
Is there a tech at who can troubleshoot here? Looks like your syndication setup is malfunctioning. This article from 2020 or 2021 was just published and marked with today’s date.
Lemme guess…these workers are primarily in Ottawa, right?
Tell that to health care workers.
Oh lets see....in the last 4 years I haven't even had more than 2 days off in a row except for having covid once. All I could think was ... Yeah! I finally get 2 weeks off. Stop whining office folks and get to work!
It seems that the headline would be more true if it read, 'Government workers worried about safety of returning to office...' Millions worked through the pandemic in the stores allowed to remain open. none shut down due to outbreaks, but office workers are terrified 2 years in.
Is that so? But they sure love their Costco
Bullshit. They just want to work from home because if no commute, no gas expense, no business casual dress code, and can squeeze in more breaks. If these same ppl can go out to a diner, a basketball game, kids can go to school, and vacations they sure as hell can got to work!
I’ve been back in my office everyday in a building we share with two large doctor’s offices since May 2020. Patients in and out all day, everyday. You’re going to be ok snowflakes…
A wave... of snotty noses.
A virus that has produced waves every few weeks despite our best efforts is heading for another wave. Shocked! We will be ok… this is not 2020.
These same people afraid to return to office are the ones who are 5x jabbed and wear N95s everywhere they go. They are living in perpetual fear and privilege and should probably find call centre type jobs where they can work from home and hide from the world forever.
Tell them to stay home wear their masks and simply order in on food, groceries, household goods, etc. and do us all a favour so we can live life normal pre-COVID
Seriously? Same ones who are triple jabbed?🙄
you can't quote employment lawyers and faculty spokespeople who give their impressions on Canadians workers; a survey would've been more accurate than this misleading article.
No one is really scared of COVID anymore.
One cannot have it both ways. First drop the mandates (yay), and next tooscared to go into work. youmaybealazyliberal JustinTrudeau TrudeauMustGo RemoveThePrimeMinister
Can we grow some ⚽️🏐🏈🏀 back?
The rest of us who work from our place of employment seem to be surviving. Get to work as part of your job stop whining
I haven't missed 1 day of work since the beginning. 76 covid tests. Not 1 positive test. Not 1 single CERB payment. It's time for folks to go back to work. I've been in construction with 3000 people from all across Canada, flying all over the place. Go back to work folks.
Maybe if the UPexpress was running properly vs the packed trains it has now, people wouldn’t be hesitant
'potential' 'looms', seems as a sure thing oddly enough, huh?
Yeah and some people are afraid of mice
Just excuses, I go to the office and no problems. It is over😡
Hahahaha 🤣
Lmao been working with 100s of ppl daily through the entire dEaDliESt pAndEmIC evahhhh.... no one here in this factory is worried.
Such bullshit article GET REAL!! Worker's are worried about inflation, rising rates!!! Stop the bullcrap
What a bunch of losers. Bunch of us have been working out in public the last 3 years. I bet all these people were going to restaurants. Give me a break.
So universal mail-in voting so that democrats can cheat I get it
Such nonsense. have you been around lately - people are almost all not concerned.
Tell that sob story to all the Canadians out working in public for the last three years. Pathetic!!
They better not have gone to the grocery store. A family dinner, a birthday party, funeral, concert, any kind of gathering then because if they did their argument is merit less.
What workers have you talked to? I like working from home because Trudeau continues to make gas expensive so I like the cost savings. I could care less about COVID.
you misspelled FLU
Ok but where was the concern for all the folks who have had to work in the face of this all along? The servers, retail workers, factory workers, tradespeople, teachers, etc.
The same people will go to a movie, concert, hockey game, restaurants with no problem or fear at all….
I’ve been at the office for most of the last two years.
Obviously only those who work at newspapers.
Lmfao 🤣
THE PANDEMIC IS OVER! REPORT ON SOMETHING ELSE AND STOP SPREADING FEAR AND DIVISION!
No, they just don't want to go back to the office and this is the workaround.
Then quit your job. The world is not going to cater to your fears your entire life. Move on or be left behind.
are you f’n kidding me !! There can’t possibly still be people that haven’t returned to work
Grow a pair. Stop testing. It’s a cold.
Maybe if we didn’t start vaccinating, boosting, ect this virus would have naturally left on its own. You know, like all other illnesses.
Fear porn. please stop.
Here comes the fear mongering porn. Didn't these people take the jabs? 🙄🤡
lol
If you can do your job from home you have a job that can be outsourced to a less expensive country. Be careful what you wish for.
Of course people worry. Working in a open concept office which resembles the economy class on a plane , no one can mitigate their personal risk.
I’m not worried, why worry? There is also a flu bug wave in the fall and allergy season. Better get everyone worried about that while your at it. STOP CREATING FEAR!!
Hire new workers. we are all replaceable. JustinTrudeauMustGo
Good stay home without pay like those that declined the injections. See how long you can financially survive. JustinTrudeauMustGo
Anecdotal and without citations. People could be wary of space debris as well. Carry on.
What's sample size? How many coddled bureaucrats included?
If any of those people attended a concert, a movie an event but fear work that’s a different problem, not covid.
This article is about a year over due. We returned to the office over a year ago. That being said who am I to judge. If your workplace can exist remotely you may want to re-visit your org. chart. honesty COVID19 sustainability
The ones who want to stay home in a bubble, are the only ones who are worried.
No. Normal people are not worried. Only propagandists are worried we are over it.. Covid is over. 🖕 Deal with it.
They always can choose to stay home, incredible the way the dictator manipulate the news, there are no news, but propaganda ideas
🤣
😂😂🤡🤡🤡
Are they worried? Or is this just the media creating fear again?
When you publish terror porn for three years, what do you think would happen?
So if they dont trust the vaccine they risked 3 or 4 times, why did they get it?
So soft
Only Canadians wanting to stay-at-home and not go to the office are the public sector employees who want to stay-at-home all day on their pajamas and pretend they are working
workers are worried that their days of not working are numbered
Aww that must be difficult. 🙄Well, they can always find other jobs right? Right?
Just back from TO, and numerous people said downtown was becoming increasingly unsafe in part due to lack of people presence.
Fire them
Infectious disease specialist says risk to Canadians is low Most people will never get it. Most of the people who get it won't ever experience symptoms. Most of the people who experience symptoms won't need medical care.
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂😂😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Fearmongering: 'potential COVID wave looms' Canadians should not be subjected to fearmongering Mainstream media does not deserve respect & should not receive taxpayer $ MSM, paid for by the Liberal/NDP to promote one-sided perspectives TrudeauMustGo LiberalNDP
Don't blame the workforce. Blame the employers who followed government/media/health officials rules terminated many & told other workers to work from home. Anyone could have envisioned what would take place with the return to the office when the pandemic was over.
Don't forget that cities are freaking out because of lost revenues from public transit, parking, taxes collected from downtown businesses that are floated by the people who were previously spending money on overpriced coffee, sandwiches, etc. It's about money, always.
Ohhh look the far right media… admitting that covid is not over 😂
At this point, they just don’t want to work. They obviously don’t trust their 4 jabs, or the masks or all the ridiculous protocols. Let’s face it.
Workers fake worry about the safety of returning to the office to try to remain on WFH forever while they cram themselves into Costco. GetBackToWork
Some of us never left and yet never received the $400 tax credit these folk did nor the savings of a commute. Having said that, am sure management will continue working from home.
My wife and I went to the Weeknd concert on Friday. Packed. No one gives a shit about covid any longer. Just the same hypochondriac losers you drum up for every article
Sounds like people are just enjoying their new work cozy environment.
massformationpsychosis
rexglacer How do u print this nonsense ffs.
Pure propaganda. I live in a hotspot of Covid paranoia, i.e., people masked alone in car, & since May my neighborhood has gone down from 98 % masking in stores to 25 %. People are done. They are not buying what you are selling. Disappointed that you published this. ChurchOfCovid
'some Canadian Workers'... Who? How many? Where are they? This is not reporting... This is storytelling
I've worked the entire pandemic on site in a high risk setting and so have plenty of others .. the fear is the problem
u could die oneday
Easy solution, Lay them off without pay or fire them. Hire people who want to work!
Shut up with ur fear mongering!
Hahaha! Who are these people? I’ve worked through the entire scamdemic.
How disconnected is the legacy media?
Potential wave.... Stop with the fear porn!
How many boosters do they have?
For some, it is still a pandemic of fear. 99.99% of the unvaxed (control group) are not in hospital.
Unbelievable..time to get back to work
Get over it. Fundamentally, life itself is a risk.
You know what you and your fear porn can do?
I wd believe it if they have stayed home in isolation for the last few years but otherwise not buying it
They still haven’t returned? 😂 delicate flowers.
😂😂😂😂 No they’re not! Quit pushing this narrative ffs! defundthemedia 🤮
Oh so the concert was great was it? The ball game to huh Get back to work.🤡🌎
Government bureaucrats who were paid 100% of their salary to shop at Costco ....errr....work from home?
This message brought to you by Pfizer.
Workers? Do you mean Liberals? I know the rest of us are not even thinking about a potential “covid” wave. Move on! Live your life, The pandemic is over according to Biden - but maybe the science is different here in Canada?
Workers worried about having to do their jobs efficiently.
I am always double masked when out of my home . I am triple vaccinated and just tested positive for covid, I am grateful for the protection my vaccines give me !!!
workers are worried to return to work but not for kids going to school.
Come on I’ve worked the whole pandemic in a seniors home, assisted in outbreak units never got it , it’s time to get back to normal
They can stay at home. They’re lazy. Not scared
Bet they still go to the pub though
Just stop the fear porn. Enough, it’s so silly. Report the news as it actually is without state propaganda imbedded constantly. You look like 🤡🤡.
Really? I’ve yet to meet an ‘worker’ who thinks like this.
only mentally ill people are worried about keeping up covid theatre anymore
Get over it.
Don't work, go homeless and go hide in the bush
..lol.. Humanity is lazy as fck. We should just give ‘leftists’ their way. Go back to barter and trade.
The post is a guy on the corner yelling the sky is falling. Just give the post some operating capital already. Agenda pushed
Just stop
Say it ain't so...another wave?
The ratio is breathtaking
Cowards
It's always sick season. There is no season this time of year without illness. And it has always made hospitals overwhelmed. Doesn't help how we fired workers. Doesn't help how we deliberately sabotaged ourselves.
It isn’t about safety. It is about being tied to a desk again for no logical reason now that we see remote working is an option.
LIES
Blue collar workers would like to enter the chat
Kids are in school without masks going on week 4 licking each other’s boogers. These big babies in offices will do just fine !
Terminate them. Enough clinging to a narrative.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Why would workers be worried about safety of returning to office? Aren't they all 'up to date' with all their vaccinations? Aren't those COVID vaccines effective? The unvaccinated are completely fine. Mingling in the community, working jobs where there are no mandates, unmasked
More fear mongering. Media has lost all credibility. Congrats you are part of the problem.
Then they should quit and stay home.....ppl have had enough
🙄🙄🙄🙄 get back to work!
Lol
But it was fine for the lower class to fetch their food, groceries, clothing, construction materials etc? Good grief. They can go to work, or quit
They don't give a shit about Covid, they just don't want to commute and sit in a cubicle all day anymore.
People are scared because the government and media ran a propaganda campaign of fear for 2 years.
How ridiculous. I imagine they go to the grocery store where employees have worked with the public throughout, often seeing 100s of people a day. Lo and behold they are not dead.
BS nobody is scared anymore
FakeNews!
Are they really scared to return to work? Or is this culture of laziness lockdowns have created too hard for them to let go of? Working half-assed in your PJs is a difficult luxury to drop. I guarantee you unions will fight tooth and nail for it.
When folks like myself have worked safely in a hospital throughout the whole pandemic, there is simply no reason why everyone can't return to the office. Pathetic.
No, they're lazy mofo's
'Looms'... everyone I know just had it over the summer! Yet we carried on without all the doom and gloom so why is fall any different? If people are terrified at this point they need a therapist
Just stop
paranoia.
….Worried they actually have to work now
It's 3/4 of the way through THIRD YEAR of this nonsense. When exactly are people planning on returning to functioning normally in society if not now?
Get back to work, already. How long do you think you can milk this?
Stop wasting precious database space with these articles.
What horse sh!t, get your ass back to work.
Translation we really want you to be anxious and worried about this.
No..... no they aren't!! They are simply looking for excuses to not return to a normal, functional adult life. Why Who knows. It's pathetic.
Translation: workers are worried about doing actual work instead of “working” from home. Not worried about going on their morning runs to Costco.
Oh please. It's over and if you get ill now you can chalk it up to a lowered immune system for any number of reasons that remain true throughout the years. You'll be fine.
Moronic pussies
