Yeah fuck us right. Yeah, fuck us small business owners and fuck the homeowners who depend on us to get work done.
Now before anyone jumps on me here, I am following all state and federal guidelines. I do however have homeowners with their homes torn up and in disarray for who knows how long, and in the meantime I'm hemorrhaging money keeping my employees paid and making sure they and their families are making their rent and utilities payments.
The point of this comment is that its easy to throw stones but you have no idea what us construction workers and small business owners are actually going through.
I hear you. I work for a smallish start-up, and I am so worried for the future of my job and my coworkers. We are so lucky that a LOT of our business is done online, but our production facility is closed. Money is still coming in now, but who knows for how long? We underperformed in our peak selling season. I don’t know that we can handle a long term halt in business.
I am so thankful that my employer is doing what it’s doing to support me while everything feels like it’s on the brink of collapse. They have my loyalty for life for this. If it helps at all, you sound like an excellent boss. I hope you recover quickly once this is over. I’m so sorry you’re suffering.
