The SBA’s PPL (Paycheck protection loan) that you’re boss got when businesses were closed or harmed due to Covid? They were supposed to use that to be able to pay you.

I am a 17 year old male and have been working for Subway for about a year and a half. My coworkers are lovely and my bosses (I thought) were pretty awesome. A couple of stories I've heard from my coworkers has brought some terrible things to my attention.
