Incentive to go back to work??

Incentive to go back to work??


Are you fucking KIDDING me?!?

How about we give the actual workers who are working and continue to work the $300 bonus for BEING EMPLOYED!

Imagine how many people would suddenly be looking for a job!

I'm so disgusted.....

It's a sad state of affairs when people are allowed to choose to remain on unemployment until they max out and can collect no more because they make more on unemployment than with an actual job.

Even better!

Let's give them a BONUS because they were forced to rejoin the workforce!

As someone who worked throughout the whole COVID nightmare trying to staff a store and maintain retention, this is just plain wrong.

When every single business EVERYWHERE is hiring, there should not be anyone on unemployment.

Ugh.....

I need to stop watching the news, it only manages to piss me off.

Happy Wednesday!

    The Gov of GA pulled the plug on the Special $300 a week and it quits this wek. So maybe we can see the "help wanted" signs disappear, they are every where in Georgia. They wont work because of covic but will not take a free shot to help prevent it.. A burger flipper job is not a job that one should expect excessive pay for, and surely not a career bill paying job.. All jobs should not require a high minimoon.. If you cant make it flipping burgers get another job, go to school in the evenings , put some effort in and get a real good paying job, they are therre but it is not going to be handed to you.. .... Off my soap box and back to the real world..Have a nice day..
Too many people expect something for nothing these days.... The value of hard work is just lost on a lot of people. Very sad, indeed.

Pssss,
If these people think they have a hard time when they are young working and paying their bills, I got a surprise for them, wait till you are retired, If you didn't work and save you will really hurt when you finally retire.. You really cant live on SSI..

    Any way they are off till September and then let see what happens after that
    I'm betting biden give they more money to stay home.
Unemployment for some of the folks is cutting off now. The girl I onboarded today told me she had completely exhausted her unemployment last week so she 'had' to go back to work....

    Agree Our governer cuts it off July 1. Jobs are there. The moochers need to get to work. The ones who stuck it out should get a nice bonus or generous raise or maybe some extra vacation time added.
I agree with you... There should be some sort of a thank you to those of us who had to work through the entire pandemic. We put ourselves on the line to deliver mail and perform necessary medical and stock grocery shelves and truck food and medicine to people, we deserve a thank you.

They didn't make more on unemployment before they added on the COVID bonus.... By adding that $600 a week it made it impossible for employers to match that wage. What hotel, restaurant, retail store pays their employees $900 a week???

    Many companies are offering bounty/bonuses for new hires, so that suggestion is already in effect. Workers seem to be a bit more choosy after Covid.

    The government benefits will run out in a matter of weeks. That clock is ticking. Ride it out and you won’t have to hear it anymore. I do hope you’re paying your people enough to live on…

    blog on!
The employees who have been employed through all this are still making the exact same wage. No sign on bonuses if your already employed. New hires are being hired at a higher wage than some of the employees who have been with us for a year or two because we just can't keep anyone. I don't agree with this at all because it's not right for the employees who've been with us. And, you know the employees who have continued to work through all this will not get shit.

I hope they realize that if they collect it now they won't be getting it back at the end of the year when they file their taxes. I opted out of getting it early.

    We have the furloughed scheme on-going over here in the UK. At present, the Government pays 80% of a furloughed employee’s wages up to a maximum of £2,500 per month with the employer paying National Insurance and pension contributions.
    It seems fair but no idea how much longer it will be in place.
As long as people are being paid to stay home, they will. It's kind of a sad fact, but it is a fact. We make it too easy for the people who become a professional at working the system.

Me too... I was essential also. My personal feelings on all of it is.... I don't think people should have been able to collect more unemployment than what they normally make. If you only made $300 a week to begin with, you should have only been able to collect $300. Nobody in their right mind will go back to work if they have to give up $600 a week!

    Amen sister! So glad our governor cut the federal unemployment subsidy.
One of my new hires told me today that she and her husband both decided it was unsafe to work during COVID... She cleaned hotel rooms and he worked janitorial somewhere, so they went on unemployment together. In the beginning, they were each getting $900 a week for 16 weeks. Then they continued to each get $600 a week for another year. She was bragging how they went from making around $2400 a month working to $6400 a month on unemployment 'when it was good'. I didn't say anything, but I was beyond frustrated.
