I'll never forget, years ago I was the top embalmer for a Funeral Service Corporation when COVID went off like a fucking bomb in funeral service. I was embalming 5 to 8 decedents per day, my prior average was 2 per day. I worked near 40 days straight, being called in on every single day off, massive overtime, tackling the worst of cases while my younger and some older colleagues were scared (COVID had no vaccine and we didn't know much about transmission) and just didn't have the experience to keep up. In the end after seeing these corporate fucks through a very difficult time and even embalming many of my neighbors who succumbed to COVID, I was questioned about OT, why I was embalming hundreds more decedents than the next most experienced embalmer and was rewarded with some Snickers. That's right candy bars. To anyone who thinks that any Corporation gives a fat rat's ass about you or thinks they are loyal, well use my experience as an example. I was the top Embalmer and Embalming Suite buyer and manager for 8 years and in the end, it wasn't worth a fucking dime, not even a thank you. Obviously I moved on to better pastures, but man was that corporate experience my wake up call.
