Antiwork

Finding out that my “honorable” employer is a hypocrite.

I just learned that my company owner (small business, construction industry) received a now forgiven, $232,000 PPP loan during the height of covid. During covid, the construction business boomed. Nobody slowed down, everybody got more business than they could handle. Every other contractor I know was turning work away. Coincidentally, most of those same contractors received money from the government because they were “struggling”. Even more coincidentally, every one of those same contractors are conservative Republicans that bitch about “government hand outs”. I almost don't want to work this company anymore but if I leave I'll just end up at another company that pulled the same stunt. I'll probably get over it.
