Thanks you for doing this. I work with several people in our nurse station at Tyson in Sedalia. I have put in to get some free stuff for them to try to make their day brighter. Some days we get a little over whelmed and this might make their day a little better, so Thanks again for offering these different sites.
I AM A PHARMACY TECHNICIAN AT HUMANA AND I APPRECIATE ALL THE COMPANIES HELPING OF THE FRONT OF THE LINE WORKERS
I am a Frontline worker not in the health care industry and I dont see any perks for us….annoyed.
I am not taking anything away from the healthcare and first responders however frontline work is frontline work. Covid19 does not have any criteria as to who is working on the frontline. I personally feel that all frontline workers need a discount too.
That is just my 2 cents because I have been working on the frontline since this pandemic started. I havent received any perks at all….very frustrated. I jeopardized my life the same way the others have and what have we received nothing but a mere 2 dollar raise that is scheduled to end at the end of the May…..
Have a great day!!!!
MY NAME IS DENISE I HAVE BEEN WORKING SINCE THE COVID19 BREAKOUT. IM A SINGLE MOTHER AND ITS BEEN VERY DIFFICULT FOR ME. I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE SOME FLOWERS OR SOMETHING TO SHOW THAT IAM APPECIATED. THANK YOU
please add me to your mailing list.
