They didnt have to spend that loan money on payroll, though. They could have used every dime on utilities and mortgage or rent and they would have been in the clear.The small companies got a hand out, and the big companies didn't.Nope. Companies with more than 500 employees didnt have to do jack squat. The choice was only taken away from the little guys.It was my understanding that every company had to give the 10 paid days for covid, covid related.Why do big corporations and businesses (500 or more employees) get out of having to pay employees for being off for having covid, being quarantined because of advice from local health officials, or having to take care of someone covid related?
I am asking because this lady i know has covid. Her husbands business sent him home for 14 days with no pay. They refuse to pay him because they have more than 500 employees.
Can someone explain the reasoning for this?
Is this just another example of the duopolies sucking off corporations?
But those with less than 500 employees got reimbursed by the govt for it.
Your neighbor situation seems wrong.

The paid sick leave and expanded family and medical leave provisions of the FFCRA apply to certain public employers, and private employers with fewer than 500 employees.
Well, that's not exactly true, either. Other parts of the covid relief bill, they did in fact get handouts too. I honestly miss the beef here. Small businesses were given money to pay employees a sick leave if they got covid.
That's just what consumers decided to do. Stores that sell food didn't have to close - but Walmart is way fuckin cheaper to buy things in bulk and people shop where it's cheaper.This whole year has been a huge payoff to the big guys.Wow! If that is true, that is a huge payoff to big corporations!!!Nope. Companies with more than 500 employees didnt have to do jack squat.

"you cant get covid at walmart!" lol
People wanted to limit going out when the infection rate was highest, online shopping (hello amazon, grub hub, etc) magically increased.
Pizza shops did fuckin awesome during our first quarantine.
