Sick of these “many” businesses whinging about struggling to get workers back..the very same businesses were more than happy to abuse the wage subsidy scheme..what goes around comes around..try paying a 1/2 decent wage & you won’t have a problem getting staff
Pup should be cut when your sector re-opens if you can’t get a job then your a job seeker
Can't find people to work or can't find people to work for what they're paying? Bit of a difference there.
For the lady in the hotel saying people should lose their pup, why don't you just pay people more? Instead of ripping money out of people's hands, actively incentivise them to come back and enjoy working? You just sound like you want miserable, poor staff.
