Employers refuse to pay more Because of inflation
Employers refuse to pay more because of rising housing costs
Employers refuse to pay more because of the pandemic
Employers refuse to pay more because of The worker shortage
Employers refuse to pay more because of the gas prices
Do you see a trend here? Because it seems like the solution is pretty obvious to me. If employers are not willing to pay more for higher overall cost of their workers, then the workers should quit, and leave the employer high and dry with the problem. It's not the responsibility of a worker to save the entire company and when they get no additional pay or incentive to do so. I mean, that only makes sense, right?
If the small business is going to go out of business because of it, who cares? It's not your small business?
If the customers don't want to pay that much for food, who cares? It's their greed, if they don't like it, they can go make their own damn meals
