american airlines laid off 30,000 employees AFTER receiving over $9 billion of federal coronavirus aid, which was supposed to keep them afloat and keep their employees on the payroll
you ain’t want workers there…well now you got your wish
Some will go back, but a lot won't.... There's so many more options now with the internet and remote work.All true.
But when it runs out, then what?
Wonder what the execs made during that time...american airlines laid off 30,000 employees AFTER receiving over $9 billion of federal coronavirus aid, which was supposed to keep them afloat and keep their employees on the payroll

Work week should be 32 hours 4 days of work and 3 days off

We know for a fact happiest employees work between 36-38hrs per week. More than that and it upsets the work:life balance. If there wasn't such a massive pay discrepancy between the top and the bottom things could improve. But people fight tooth and nail and stand up for the wealthy like the wealthy actually give two flying fucks about them. Ceo, "I make nearly $3000/hr and stock boy makes $14/hr, it's fair it's less than 1% of what I make."I've thought about this for a long time, and think it'd be a bad idea. First, the obvious, less working hours mean less pay. Which then means some people will be forced to do OT just to reach 40 hours make ends. Even further, some people will be doing 2x OT to make up any traditional OT they were making. People will be so burnt out that the extra day wont mean shit.
3 or even 4 day weekends people would look forward to due to holidays would be null and void.
Also, if we go from a 5 day to a 4 day work week, I can easily see people getting an inch but trying to take a mile by making the work week even less.
That's just my take though. I could be completely wrong and that shit changes the work mindset for the better.
Grocery stores, which didn't close during covid for obvious reasons, still upped prices 4% in 2020. They plan another 2-6% in 2021. Pay the workers as much as you like, they corps WILL make what they always make and more. They will not take a loss and that's what paying more does. The rich don't take losses, the poor do.
They've(not grocery stores persay) written articles/had talks trying to figure out how to get all the money out of people's bank accts that they've saved up during covid. Legit vampires.
Listen pal, it's a fucking problem when people are paying $5 for a loaf of goddammit bread.Correct me if I'm wrong but grocery stores had fairly significant issues on the supply side during covid. If you couple that with the obvious increase in demand, of course they're going to raise prices. Thats just simple supply and demand economics. Most grocery stores dont run profit margins for anybody to become massively wealthy.
Its gonna become similar with labor. Eventually prices gonna be passed on to the consumer if workers want dramatic pay increases to produce. There's nothing wrong with that...consumers (us) had it too good in most areas of commerce before the pandemic (the insane cost of housing was the biggest issue).
Unemployment and eviction moratoriums probably need to end. You dont get a true picture of the economy when the federal govt gets to print money or arbitrarily pass the buck.
All true.

I switched my career and finally reached one of my longtime goals of being a Network Administrator
I'm a salaried employee and I work Sunday through Wednesday for twelve hours and then the next week I work Sunday through Tuesday for twelve hours....working a job you like for twelve hours with all of these days off is GOAT!!!!
Technically, I only work half of the year and that goes along with 30 days of paid vacation that I might not even use...
