Someone should inform the workers that a business can’t pay for the wages and bennies if it’s broke.
And I wonder if that’s part of the reason the business is closing. The lease is up and perhaps they weren’t able to negotiate favorable terms going forward. Perhaps the payment of such high wages is making that location unprofitable.
Too many people just don’t understand how businesses work. This business probably does not have a huge profit margin to start with.
As a small business owner, it’s been my experience that many non-business owners assume that we have a 6secret vault full of Scrooge McDuck money.
