It is always the ultimate goal of capitalism. Meanwhile:Not paying people for their labor is theft.
He refuses to name the company...
And we all know we'd never be lied into wars repeatedly.He refuses to name the company...
Makes me suspect it could be bullshit. We'll have to wait to see. I would imagine if it's not BS, then the name of company will be outted pretty quickly. No way an entire company would share this guy's desire to not name the company. If he remains the only person, then it has to be nonsense.
I hope more companies start doing this. It disgusts me to see so many people getting free money that they didn't earn.
Austin company looking to dock paychecks for those receiving stimulus checks

AUSTIN (KXAN) – Mar 27, 2020 / 07:07 PM CDT While Congress was working out the details on a bill that would provide Americans with stimulus checks, at least one Austin company was looking for ways to save payroll.
“The form says they are preemptively deducting funds from our paychecks. That number is based on what they’re anticipating the government relief fund to be,” a worker for the company told KXAN. The worker asked not to be identified in this investigation so as not to impact his company’s ability to continue doing business. The worker asked not to be identified in the report, but provided KXAN a copy of the paycheck reduction letter his company emailed out on March 25, 2020.
The worker said his company emailed a form titled “Employee Acknowledgement of ‘Government Assistance’ Pay Reduction” to some staffers on Wednesday. “In response to the economic crisis that is affecting all of us due to the coronavirus pandemic…(company name redacted) are hereby enacting the Employee Emergency Compensation Fund,” the letter stated.
The agreement would put workers under a “temporary compensation reduction that is in line with the assistance that it receives from the federal government related to the COVID-19 pandemic.” By signing the agreement, the company’s employees would have their paychecks between April 6 and April 20 cut by 100% of any money received under the stimulus bill. The company would also take half of the $500 stipend allotted for dependents under the bill.

It's not really free money. It's your income tax money.
People who don't pay any taxes are also getting the check. 44% of Americans do not pay any federal income tax. They get their money back for various reasons. Those 44% of Americans are getting at least $1,200. I am certain if these losers are complaining about not getting $1,200 then they are likely the low-income economic freeloaders who don't pay taxes. The only people who should be getting assistance are those who have paid at least $10,000 in taxes. Everyone else has taken enough without giving anything back.
It was reported 4 months at FULL payall the more reason to put them back to work sooner rather than laterThis is going to be a clusterfuck
people who were not working did not lose a job and are entitled to nothing
those with a job should get the regular unemployment insurance they were entitled to and nothing more
Do you have any idea how low unemployment insurance is?
This is a stimulus, not unemployment!
Do me a favor! Send me your check! PM me for the address.
now a significant number will sit on their butts the entire four months at full pay
Where did you get 4 months?
Why are you pulling shit out of your ass?

that means a four moth vacation for some people
maybe even most people since the ambitious ones will work under the table
I hope more companies start doing this. It disgusts me to see so many people getting free money that they didn't earn.

This was Schumer's attempt to poison pill the bill. I don't believe this passed. If it did, that is news to everyone.
He refuses to name the company...
Makes me suspect it could be bullshit. We'll have to wait to see. I would imagine if it's not BS, then the name of company will be outted pretty quickly. No way an entire company would share this guy's desire to not name the company. If he remains the only person, then it has to be nonsense.

I'm not so sure. Working or not, I don't know anyone who hasn't been hurt big by this. This company has a legal obligation to PAY its employees for the hours they worked. The fact that the fed is giving people a tiny stimulus check to help out is irrelevant to them. When banks and auto companies got a HUGE stimulus check from Obama, I didn't hear about anyone stopping using their banks or not buying their cars.This is going to be a clusterfuck
people who were not working did not lose a job and are entitled to nothing
those with a job should get the regular unemployment insurance they were entitled to and nothing more
