    It turns out the reality is people don’t want to work for shit wages.

    Companies also used it to justify running skeleton crews. Why hire more workers, when you can just give more work to your existing workers for no extra pay? If they complain, just fire a few of the loudest ones to make a point and keep the rest in line.

      Really appreciated all the return to work mandates in spite of all evidence that it was better for workers’ lives. I ha e to provide a business reason for just about anything, yet there is no reasoning even attempted when the choice is between worker well being and company dominance of the will.
