Paying people to return to work?

[Saltwater60]

I don’t know what to think anymore.

Bill introduced would provide eligible New Yorkers $1200 bonus for return to work

Senator Rath says the bill would prioritize the hiring and re-hiring of employees previously receiving unemployment benefits.

i got a idea for a bill .. disband unemployment and welfare ..

Or we could just stop paying people to not work.

I almost suggested some form of attendance bonus in a staffing meeting yesterday, but decided to take a fresh look at the ROI with automation instead. Reduced output was never part of the math before.

If anything, the current lack of applications will accelerate the adoption of automation. The hold outs are literally going to help eliminate job opportunities for themselves, and the gravy train won’t last forever.

Corporate taxes will just increase as jobs are eliminated. Industries will consolidate further, supply chain disruptions will become more severe, the wealth gap will keep growing, and the government will assume absolute authority while printing unlimited stimulus. This great Republic we inherited is toast.

Is that the plan though? Is that what democrats want? I think so.

Maybe. They do prefer a dependent population. Much easier to control.

I think its all crazy.......seeing many business closed, more so restaurants cuz they got no one to work....stop the benefits and those jobs might be filled. then again go to work they will take the "bonus" and then get themselves fired or so way around it all.

What has this country become...its so sad to see it.......Then again we've basically enabled them to be like this?!

 

[repete]

I might as well jump on the gravy train. Where is my 'bonus' for not missing one single day of work for the past 5 years or so? You might ask why haven't you missed any days? Because I don't get paid sick days! I need and want MONEY and no one is going to give it to so I get off my ass and WORK (such a concept) . Being poor is an excellent motivater to work, if you power is turned off and your landlord is kicking you to the curb, then I bet you'd get off your ass and work! Fuck this paying people to stay home or to go back to work, TURN OFF THE CASH FAUCET AND THEY WILL WORK!

 

[Cooolone]

Inconceivable! Unconscionable!

Utterly ridiculous...

Is simple, don't work, don't look for handouts! Where the fuck do you think that money is coming from. Assholes!

And the Liberal Progressivism at the root cause of all this has yet to be recognized for what it is... Failure of the highest degree of koolaid binging!!!

And all that is possible because the fed is allowed to tax so heavily, and "give back."

I'm not 100% sure about anything, but it seems the path to freedom is tax reform. No taxation without representation. Bring the taxation and responsibilities local. Defang the fed.

If they're not "gifting" back, they're powerless without holding money over the heads of locals.

Any legitimate attempt at reform will be labeled terrorism. They will not give up the revenue without a fight.

It would be nice to see how much cream skimming by the politicians is going on.

This says 12.5%. The crooks probably take more than that. We should start calling them United States Separators.

The governments solution to any problem is to spend money

Right there with you. I just bought 3 machines that replace 6 workers doing a better job in the process, 14 month ROI. If the manufacturer can guarantee machines that will work in a more problematic situation I will replace another 4 people. I shouldn't say replace, because we either cant find new hires or they last 2 weeks. Currently at 70% turnover in 60 days.

I'm not looking to replace anyone either, just change a method of input. We have a process that always had high staffing levels, but could easily be automated if/when the timing was right. The current model is becoming less sustainable.

Pay to work. Pay not to work. Pay Pay Pay. I'm getting pretty sick of working so I can pay others to do either one. Jerk offs.

 

[Deplorable Me]

Some government employees staying at home do less damage.

 

[Grimscale]

"Paying people to return to work."

Yeah...it's called a "paycheck". You get it regularly, typically once every two weeks or twice a month.

If the .gov has so much extra money lying around they can just keep giving it away, then it's time we all started cutting back on the money we give to the .gov.

 

[fresch]

The cutting back part.

A local business has this on their sign "Now offering weekly stimulus checks, apply within"

 

[Robin]

Driving around, I have never in all my life seen so many road side signs with "Help Wanted", "Now Hiring" and the like.
Why work, everything is free, free, free, I seen it on TV!
The other day A guy told me he was making a total of $900.00 a week on unemployment. Is that even possible?!?!?!?!?!?!?! A woman told my wife her son-in -law won't go back to work because he makes more on unemployment, I added, and probably no sense of dignity.

I've been on unemployment a few times in the past. Would rather work. At one point I took a job that paid less than unemployment just to be able to do something.

I had a seasonal union job. Because it was union, you weren't required to look for work to get unemployment when you got laid off. I'd collect for a few weeks and then go to a non-union seasonal job.

There were times I was working 2 FT and a PT job at the same time, averaging over 100 hours a week. My personal record is 101 hours in one week for one job.

It sucked but I had bills to pay and a family to support.

No one today wants to take responsibility for themselves

So in the past year unemployed people got an EXTRA $2400/month plus normal state benefits, plus multiple stimulus payments. Now they are being babied so much they have to get a bonus to go to work to make money?

This is all a direct and entirely predictable result of placating the weakness in our society. A person's pay check should be their incentive to work, and if they are not incentivized enough either their paycheck is too low (employer deals with this), or their comfort level at home is too high (massive unemployment bennies).

The last 2 lines specifically are lost concepts in today's society...

Don't work, starve to death.
Work, live.
Have 52 kids great, you pay for them.
How is it my/ our responsibility for the lampreys out there.

Giving people incentives or paying them to get vaccinated is another great idea huh? What happens with the next vaccination routine or whatever the gov't wants people to do? Do you think they'll go for it or wait and hold out for free beer, money or a lottery incentive and then gov't gives away OUR money that we paid in taxes. Tax and spend... Then pass this bullshit off as being for infrastructure as our infrastructure crumbles away !

We are in a death spiral...
