Governors Offer Cash Incentives To Lure Employees Back To Work
What the F kind of garbage is this? What about people who have been working all along through the Covid????? Where is our "incentive"?😠😠ðŸ˜ÂÂ
It was the unemployed people receiving benefits that were paying the inflated food prices at these eating joints plus a 15% or more gratuity. You cut my benefits, there goes their cash cow. I can eat cheaper at home! The benefits afforded me that LUXURY. NOT A NECESSITY!🖕
Who needs work when we have a senile president handing out money to everyone ever since he got into office, sounds like bribes from day 1.
Back to work, back to the "old shifts" that didn't pay the bills…. put the wagie in the cagie…..
Wait. Cash incentives? You mean earning a paycheck isn't enough?
Passing the $15 an hour minimum wage would have been great,as usual the repubs hinder instead of help, there is no progress in fighting against the needs of the American people, because repubs continue to keep trump and the BIG lie relivant, HEY! it's over, trump lost, he is not president ANYMORE! repubs, grow a backbone, accept the truth so this Country can Build Back Better and move on, some of them are going to lose their jobs and reputations defending The BIG LIE 🤥
Maybe double thier wages to $15 an hour and they will come.
If a person would make more on unemployment (minus the costs of working such as gas, work clothes etc) than the wage from the employment, then they were being exploited under their employer.
They found better jobs in my state the service industry pays 2.25 a hour. They expect you to live on your tips.
F that, just make the min wage $15 so people know they're just not getting a short lived cash high
I think some of these places need to contact their previous employees and find out why they aren't coming back. I think there is more too it than just unemployment benefits. Number one is day care available in the area yet. Also the busiest time for restaurants is supper time. After a year of spending that time with their kids, I can see many women not wanting to go back to a shift where they essentially don't see their children, Another factor is many low wage people have moved away to cheaper housing. Not to mention that a lot of their previous workers have probably found other jobs, you know the type that do not rely of tips.
When people tire of slave wages no advancement watching Ceo's get rich and can't even maintain machines much less pay people what their time is worth.
Add the Pandemic and all the other political crap. We have the power. We have the majority. Its time for companies to be accountable.
I work for the Airlines for
Pay the workers a decent wage and they will go back to work.
Thomas Jane should play Connor McCloud.
Its ironic and crazy, no logic to it that meets the naked eye; work is so bad people do not want to do it…
and…production lags behind demand.
Same old problems…nothing ever fixed…last crisis changed nothing that will lead to the next crisis,
the economy, staggering along from crisis to crisis, the way an alcoholic staggers the night away.
A few spurts of promises and energy sprinkle the long bouts with stagnation.
Temporary winds blow into our sails when all the pent up demand starts spending… but when it runs low and the supply chain is still broken…it will look like the light at the end of the tunnel has turned off.
People do want to work, I disagree with these lies.
Propaganda: Millions of unskilled Americans requires corporations to employ H-1B1 programs and outsource to third world countries. Not remotely related to financials.
Reality: We have to pay Americans a livable wage in order to survive. Who knew?
I thought if you were on unemployment and a job came open you had to take it or you lost your unemployment….did they change that….
To my parents, Mr. President Joe Biden, America must act quickly America, Indonesia is in danger of a very bad impact to be sure that the regret will come later, Facebook Ade Munandar Munandar is diligent in reading on the Facebook wall Ade Munandar Munandar is very important America is in danger, translate my Facebook into English, and there was my previous comment on MSNBC News Yoube and NBC and ABC YouTube and other American news on other YouTube channels, I love U America
You need a 4 year collage degree to wash dishes for $7.00 an hour….Or I can stay home collect unemployment and make more money😎
When you have to reward people to actually go back and work for a living…lmao.
People will be kicking themselves in few weeks if they miss the opportunity to buy and invest in Bitcoin as it's retracing….BE WISE
The sheer stupidity of our government on display. Pay people not to work and then pay them to go back to work. What makes it a real crime is that we did not need to shut down our economy. But the globalists needed to get rid of Orange Man.
Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me. So your telling me people don't want to work for low wages at a crappy non-career job. I guess the pandemic really made people realize these job are a waste of time because you literally serve the interest of another individual. As far as child care I'm not leaving anything to chance I can take care of my kid's better then any child care facility; these news agencies need a reality check.
