As though the shutdown wasn't bad enough....So this morning as my guys came in, the talk was about the $600 per week back credit that was deposited in the account of one of my guys who I laid off for 3 weeks when all of this first went down. He got $1800.00 for those 3 weeks in addition to his regular unemployment amount.
I pay him 22.50 an hour, he has no degree and has worked for me for 5 years. Yet now he can literally make more sitting at home doing nothing. I kindly, with a smile, reminded him and the others that loyalty is a two way street and that eventually, that money will run out. Let's see who will have a job when that happens.
Regardless, as an employer I have now been put in the terrible position of refusing to lay off my guys and thus denying them significant additional money.
It just keeps getting better....
The people who have lost their jobs were not welfare queens, right? Otherwise, they would not have jobs to lose.
“I say you are nearsighted as aLOT of people are taking unemployment and refusing work offered, thinking only about this week and not long term.”
The people who have lost their jobs were not working by the week, some having their own businesses.
So no Welfare Queen has ever had a job?
Not going back to your previous job because you make more on unemployment is not a valid reason...
That would be a reasonable/common sense approach but in these times when the government pays you more not to work (which is insane to begin with) than your job pays to work it’s probably a valid reason.
Remember we’re dealing with idiots like AOC who says boycott work when the country opens back up.
“””””That would be a reasonable/common sense approach”””””””””
It’s the law.
