    Having an essential role doesn’t mean you aren’t easily replaced outside of extenuating circumstances.

      My dude, essential is an antonym for expendable. Literally opposites. By definitions of both words, something cannot by both expendable and essential. But logic aside, calling a person essential to the point of denying their own safety to perform their job, but saying they can be replaced at any minute is frankly cruel.

        You can call it cruel, it doesn’t change the reality that there are plenty of jobs that are important but easily replaceable.

        Yes, it’s important to have groceries available. No it’s not hard to find anyone to stand at a register or stock all day. Put another way, your role is essential. You are not.
