d be disgusted if I came to Applebee’s for lunch at Applebee’s and it was closed because of woke employees.
And I’m disgusted that so many Freepers don’t believe in the free market and think that laborers are an inferior class not entitled to negotiate their wages.
You are right, everyone should be able to negotiate for the best compensation they can get for the work they provide.
In this particular case the corporate management seems to lack basic management skills. I can't imagine trying to get top performance out of a group of employees if they knew corporate considered them as expendable and hopefully replaced with people willing to work for less.
That's about as dumb as putting a sign at the door of the restaurant which says "Our goal is to get as much money out of your wallet as we can while serving you the cheapest meal we can get away with."
