A quick definition of retributive punishment:

Retributive punishment is when someone gets punished for doing something wrong. This can include things like paying a fine, going to jail, or losing privileges. The punishment is meant to make the person pay for what they did and to make them think twice before doing it again. It's like when your parents take away your toys when you misbehave. The punishment is meant to teach you a lesson and make you behave better in the future.

A more thorough explanation:

Retributive punishment is a type of punishment that is intended to satisfy the community's sense of revenge or indignation that is provoked by injustice. It is punishment that is given to a person who has violated the law as a form of retaliation.

For example, if someone commits a murder, they may be sentenced to life in prison or even the death penalty as a form of retributive punishment. The punishment is meant to satisfy the community's sense of justice and to make the offender pay for their crime.

Another example of retributive punishment is when someone is fined for breaking a traffic law. The punishment is meant to make the offender pay for their mistake and to deter them from breaking the law again in the future.

Retributive punishment is different from other types of punishment, such as reformative punishment, which is intended to change the character of the offender, or deterrent punishment, which is intended to deter the offender and others from committing crimes.

I wish that wearing a mask when sick stuck around as an okay thing like it is in the rest of the world, not all of us have enough sick days to be ditching work.

One manager came in sick wearing a mask, got roasted and stopped wearing it that day. The entire office has been cycling sickness for two weeks now. It may not be super effective but it may help in slowing the spread during meetings when we have to be so close
