This is what a lot of workplaces are finding out: you can squeeze staff, but you’ll end up with a retention problem and you’ll have a shallower pool of talent to draw from.
My local paper referred to the anti-lockdown protests as “a revolt of the bosses” and I don’t think they were wrong: COVID struck fear into the capitalist class not just because of the loss of income, but because, after decades of having it all their own way–to the point where they were getting resentful of customers not spending enough money!–business-owners were rudely reminded that they needed labour to both make their goods and services, and buy their shit.
They desperately want the late-2010s back, when money was cheap and the poors had to fight for a job.
