My Boss Spread COVID-19 Intentionally

Posted by blueraven @blueraven, Nov 14, 2020

My very stubborn boss in his late 60’s developed all of the symptoms of Covid and did nothing about it. He refused to wear a mask and refused to get tested but instead hoped it would run its course. His business is in a major financial bind and he refuses to close, even if forced to do so. I started showing symptoms 8 days later so I immediately got tested and stayed home until my results surface. They were positive. We work very closely together in a high-volume customer walk in type business. My concern is, he gave me the virus, several of our employees and not to mention the hundreds of customers that we come in contact everyday. I wear my mask religiously and wash my hands constantly. What am I to do with a stubborn, negligent man such as this? Shall I call the health department? After I recovered from Covid I was ready to return to work. He then tells me he doesn’t need me right now because he can’t afford to pay me because he’s in such debt and business is slow. There are a lot of wrongs here and I feel like I need to make them right. This is the type of man who breaks all the rules, has no respect or consideration for anyone but himself. I need to do something. He may have recovered from the virus but the fact that he subjected so many to it including myself is something I can’t forget nor forgive.

I am sorry that this has happened to you. Regarding the loss of job; be sure to file for unemployment until you find a job. Maybe this will be a blessings; a new beginning in your life with a more appreciating boss. Good luck.
