It's done to try to make frontline workers feel like we're necessary and need to come to work. Just watch the propaganda screen in your break area or actually pay attention to the dumb videos your manager shows at the weekly meetings. They speak to us like we're on par with doctors and nurses.
"We're delivering much needed medical supplies that are saving lives!!!" Anyone that works here knows 90% of the garbage we're delivering is non essential but make sure you come into work because you're saving lives. Oh, btw you don't need hazard pay. Us verbally fellating you is all the hero pay you need. Look we threw some stickers on a sprinter, letting everyone know how much of a hero you are. You don't need hazard pay!
