I think the lesson many Americans learned from the pandemic is "NEVER be essential" if you value your life and your family. Find a job where you don't actually do anything even remotely productive or necessary and you will be greatly rewarded for no reason.

Corporations will drop you just like that if they’re not making enough money. Nothing has changed:

Max is so elegant with his delivery. His passion for people is very apparent and I wish his work the very best.

Prior to the pandemic the attitudes from many Employers was some variation of 'you're lucky to even have a job, so shut up'. Many organizations are now paying the price for that as their workers either quit altogether, or realize that they have a LOT more power than they ever realized. My fear is that peoples memories are so short, that these lessons will be lost in a matter of months, and we'll be right back to where we started.

I really enjoy Max's feedback and stance on things. Its good to get a look/take/perspective from the common worker, as mainstream press would lead you to believe that everyone owns a business, and has been involved with Wallstreet since birth.
