Whether a big corporation or mom & pop establishments the only thought of the owners is THEIR own profit and getting it any way, they can and their first way of doing it is by screwing over their employees.
What all are forgetting is that without employees they end up with nothing. That is being made clear loud and clear across the country right now as people are quitting current positions to go places for more money leaving their old businesses strapped for workers to keep their businesses going.
Some have gone out of business permanently. Hospitals, are hurting because staff are quitting all over the place, and since a certain amount of staff is necessary, they run the risk of running afoul of state and fed regulations if they keep doing admissions while under-staffed.
Hotels, restaurants etc. are all desperate for workers. Pay your employees well and they might stay. Right now all bets are off. I have no sympathy for any of them whether large or small.
