My own going came a week early. I gave a month's notice, so I should have had my last day yesterday (Feb 4), but the company advised me ten days ago that I'd be out on January 28. The rules changed somewhere along the way. The Chief Health Officer suffered a brain disruption when a butterfly dropped on his head, or something. That's all it takes these days.
I was asked at my exit interview what the company could have done differently to make me stay. Simple answer! Treat covid vaccination like the annual flu vaccination: make it available, set up a day where everyone can get it, but leave it as a matter of personal choice. As I said my goodbyes I wondered how many in the office were regretting their decision to take the Fauci junk juice.
A regret that is likely spreading faster across this state than Omicron itself.
Mine sites are off limits to the unvaccinated - meaning at least two shots - but damn, that sneaky fucking virus just finds it way in!
Cases have been recorded at BHP's Yandi iron ore mine in the Pilbara and 29Metals' Golden Grove operation near Yalgoo on Sunday — the first cases in WA mine sites since the pandemic began in 2020.
The first cases since the pandemic began... in two years without mandatory jabs the Dreaded C never made it to a mine site. Weird, eh? As if the jabs.... naaaaahh!
While the state's mine workers are stuck with the mines, business chiefs have much more flexibility in their housing arrangements. And they're taking full advantage.

Wefarmers #1 Rob Scott is leaving town because he's had his fill of McClown's McCrap. Wesfarmers is as West Australian as the Swan River, established back in 1914. In better times such an exit would be a sacrilege on a par with the Pope moving to Mecca. Right now it's less a case of you bloody traitors! and more you lucky bastards!
Wesfarmers is not alone. High ranking suits across Perth business are leaving, including Richard Goyder, head of petroleum giant Woodside. Speaking to the Financial Review Goyder said that many business leaders in Perth felt they had been shafted, conned, and thoroughly fucked over by the government's change of heart on the Feb 5 reopening. (Disclosure: in the paywalled article, Goyder was quoted only as saying that business leaders were 'seething'. It's not a crime to read between the lines, is it?)
Masky Mark will go be going east too later this month. His return is in doubt, too, but for very different reasons.
Masky Mark has to appear in court to answer charges of defamation from United Australia Party founder Clive Palmer. Masky, despite his best efforts to wriggle free of a personal appearance, has been given the word by the Federal Court judge. A video presence will not suffice.
Bet it dented the McClown ego to follow instructions instead of dispense them.
The clown bus trundles on. But how much further can it roll?
