Do not put people behind #ikdoenietmeermee on an island

Due to the corona crisis, we now look differently at people who stay at home, says Pieter Derks with satisfaction. Because our work ethic had gone a bit too far. “Calling in sick was weak. Real knights keep working. If you were sick for two days, you could expect the company doctor at your doorstep. If you were ill for three days, you would receive a flower at home with ‘A lot of strength with the recovery from your chronic condition’. And if you were sick for four days, they would already have cleared your desk and given your job to the intern. ”

But staying at home also has a downside. “We are radicalising. I don’t think running too many rounds in your own head is a healthy activity. ” And that is why Derks hopes that we will also visit each other again, as if only to come into contact with people with different ideas and experiences. “In recent years we have become increasingly involved and corona has not exactly made a positive contribution to this. Both certainty and emotions have accumulated. If even Mark Rutte starts shouting that people should shut up, then you know that something is really going on. We need to meet more. ”

“We shouldn’t put the people behind #ikdoenietmeermee on an island. Firstly, that is a waste of Terschelling. And second, they are already on an island. An island where everyone has the same ideas. And the louder people from other islands start yelling that they are stupid bastards, the more certain they know: our island is the best and safest island. ”
