Opinion and quote from FB

Could be that much of the workforce was sent home 1.5 years ago and promised a paycheck every week. While being unemployed, with benefits, many of them found other means to make money, working from home. And now that the businesses are begging for them to come back they decide what they are doing now makes enough money to make ends meet without clocking in somewhere to make money for some CEO fat cat.

I guess it's just easier to shit on people you don't aknow.Could be that much of the workforce was sent home 1.5 years ago and promised a paycheck every week.
