So with this whole COVID-19 thing, there really aren't many cases in my area, but my younger brother decided that this would be the best time to get a job. Now, normally, this would be fine, he doesn't have one and being home without anything to do due to self-quarantine while me and my other brother are both employed with jobs that are letting us work from home or in safer environments so he wants to fee useful.
Thing is, this job is probably the worst one he could have decided to get, he decides to get one at a grocery store that is desperate for employees; yes this said store has measures in place to keep their employees safe, but that's not the point. The point is, IF he gets it then there are 2 people in my house that WILL die if they get it.
Not only that, but I feel like he doesn't seem to be taking this all very seriously. His schedule is probably not going to be consistent, it is full time (7 days a week) and sometimes even insane hours. I get to enjoy saturday and sunday nights staying up as late as I want as I do not work on sunday & monday...yet his 1st week has him needing to get up on a Sunday at 7 am, meaning we can't spend time as a family on saturday.
He DID agree that if there becomes 100 cases in our area he'll quit but still, I don't like it. It's a horrible thing to say but I almost just want him to crack under the pressure of the job and just quit that way rather than wait for all hell to break loose.
Everything is horrible and I hate it, we FINALLY are all able to be at home (my older bro was working elsewhere and thus had an apartment and only able to come home on some weekends) together as a family and now our times will never match up enough to enjoy it...
I am scared, and unfortunately nothing any of us say is going to change his mind...I don't know what to do...I just want to enjoy being with my family until this whole pandemic is over...we've been through enough already.
