when someone posts a comment such as this and it is taken from post 7 "....I would willingly go to work with the virus ......." I have to ask how on earth you think I am wrong and how you can say "There is little or no "I don't care attitudes" prevalent so far as I can see."? What about that comment is caring towards fellow man? macafee2 |

Well.

It's not wrong for people to expect to be treated equally in a supposed fair society, and that's why the divisions over covid and vaccines will not heal for a long time, I suspect many people will be taking a long look at their lives and changing many things after this is over. I'm lucky, I don't work for Ikea or anyone that discriminates so, it won't be my issue to choose to go to work with the virus. There are too many in society that have taken sides against the unjabbed and those people need to take a long hard look at themselves, the holier than thou attitude that many have had is a problem for them, not people like me. Remember, the sheep run away from the Wolf to end up being slaughtered by the shepherd that looks after them. |

Whenever someone places a comment on social media there is the chance the comment will be discussed. Are you suggesting it is ok to put the unjabbed at risk? I agree the jabbed should be fine but as they too can pass it on, you give it to them, they give it to an unjabbed. I totally get the stealing to feed scenario but that was not how the comment was put across and in this case, there is the option not to steal. I think Ikea are wrong. Why should Ikea or any company be put to trouble because their staff choose not be be vaccinated and are then off sick with covid? Everyone should have the choice about what goes into their bodies. As you can see from my comment, I really cant find a right solution. If companies get away with reduced sick pay for covid will a "broken leg done skiing" also warrant reduced sick pay? Where does it end? I don't think this is black and white and we need to see if from all angles, employees and employers. macafee2 |

You appear, at least to my reading of the relevant post, to believe there is widespread 'don't care about fellow man' attitudes among the approx 8 million non-vaccinated people. Is that all of them or a percentage? If I misunderstood your emphasis - my bad! That particular interpretation is just one facet of the gradually increasing efforts to denigrate and isolate the substantial number of fellow citizens who have a different point of view. That's a serious road to travel and could amount to misrepresentation of our 'fellow man'. These 'assumptions' grow rapidly and should be challenged to avoid the depiction of our fellow men. As I said, if that was my misunderstanding, my bad!

If there are 8 million unvaccinated my comment was not directed at all 8 million. It was not even directed at 2 people but directed to anyone that knowing they have covid or in deed any other infection such as Norovirus and would still mix with others and perhaps infect them and in the case of covid, be them vaccinated or not. Putting covid to one side there is a fair bit of "I don't care about others" in this world, fortunately there is an awful lot of caring for others, the RNLI is one example of caring for others. My posts in one or more threads have said that I do not agree with unvaccinated carers losing their jobs and that I think Ikea are wrong to reduce sick pay for unvaccinated staff that are isolating. see I'm caring about others I ask again, why should Ikea or any employer be inconvenienced by staff being off sick because they have not been vaccinated and now have covid? macafee2 |

I’m afraid I am of the same attitude, my company doesn’t pay me if I’m off sick, I’ve worked all the way through this pandemic, I had a week off while I had Covid symptoms and didn’t get paid. SSP doesn’t even cover my rent let alone all the other living expenses.

This story seems to have been misunderstood judging by the comments on this thread.
IKEA has not cut sick pay for the unvaccinated who self-isolate after contracting covid, but rather for those who've been in close contact with someone who DOES have covid. This is because vaccinated people coming into close contact with a person who has covid do not need to self-isolate, whereas if you're unvaccinated you do have to self-isolate. Therefore if you're unvaccinated and have close contact with a covid sufferer you'll be off work for no reason other than that you couldn't be bothered/didn't want to get vaccinated - not because you're ill. I'm not 100% sure I agree with the decision, but I can see IKEA's point of view. That being, why should they pay full wages to staff who are off work when they needn't be if they'd had the vaccine?

If you are unjabbed, do you expect someone, knowing they have covid to mix with you or stay away from you? How would you feel if you ended up in hospital because someone, knowing they had covid mixed with you and passed on the infection to you? Jabbed or unjabbed, I'd be a bit "cheesed" off if that was done to me. You and others have the right to remain unjabbed, you do not have the right to pass covid on to others and neither do you have the right to put them at risk of catching it. Any reason you did not not answer the question about Ikea being put to trouble? macafee2 |
