Assuming the business is already well-run by a competent manager, all employees are already working at full capacity and therefore will all remain employed as long as product/service demand does not lessen. Denny's assumption that there are slackers all around us tells me he and I have spent our lives in quite different arenas. If a well-run company lays off workers while trying to meet the same demand for their product/service, quality and the company's reputation will suffer. If they reward their employees with benefits, quality and the company's reputation will improve.
Aren't there hundreds of billions of dollars in tax breaks to companies to help them? That's what Republicans are complaining about, the wealth transfer from taxpayers to small business, which is almost totally Republican-owned.
There are companies with 175,000 employees that are going to lay off employees or eliminate coverage.
Because the Bush cuts expiring means 1099s who claim $250k in revenue are going to have their taxes increased, anyhow. LOL
Elitists should be delighted that that company will weed out its bums. Aren't you the one who wants to slice off the fat?
Walmart, iHop, Olive Garden, Kroger Foods, Macy's, MacDonalds, Red Lobster, Applebee's, Papa Johns, AutoZone, and more. More to come, too. Go ahead and boycott them. The worst that will happen is they fire everyone and go out of business.
