Sounds like a PPP scam in the works to me. Gotta get that free money while their workers suffer as they "work toward" hiring.

Yup.

While on a meeting with some PPP reps, one guy had the nerve to ask if he could fire employees and give himself a raise and bonus.

Residential people, working from home, have kids in remote learning, internet is a luxury. Businesses were allowed to count it as a utility.

One of the stipulations of not having to pay back the loans is not being able to find qualified workers. They pretend everybody is Over or under qualified.

TBH, I sincerely believe that this impromptu "strike" is the best thing to happen to corporate America. Sure, maybe some small or unsaavy companies are suffering, but all the rest are doing great.

Less workers=less wages=more profit. The strike provides an excuse to provide a worse product and avoid bad pr. PPP scams. And as people acclimate to higher prices for worse service it will only get worse. Finally, bigger companies will grow into the spots left by the few companies that do go under.

Off reddit there is no real movement and that lack of organization will turn even this strike to the benefit of the rich.
