This virus is making people lazy as fuck

[Vini 430]

I know people who get paid more on unemployment and don't wanna go back to work. Lazy fucks, so far this shit kills fatties and 80 year olds.

 

Hide your grandma, pop some vitamins, hit the treadmill and get back to work.

it's insane, i know several people who are getting more than they make per month, low wage workers who made around $15 an hour are getting $2000 a month, more than they would get while working.

 

-They're making more money

-They don't have to spend time or money on travel, gas, transport

-They don't have to work at all

-Savings dramatically improve when you can't fucking go out, go to the bar, go to movies, go to shows etc.

 

of course they're gonna get burned on income taxes at the end of the year though.

Not really though, I think unemployment only gets taxed 10%

Yeah its silly, im making a grand a week just sitting on my ass. I've heard about a lot of essential workers who are quitting their jobs and going on unemployment because of how much more it pays.

 

Theres even a disclaimer on my state's unemployment site that straight up says you don't even have to look for a job during this period, further encouraging everyone to just sit back and watch the handouts roll in. The government really dropped the ball with that stimulus bill.

It's taxed like regular income minus medicare/social security liabilities.

You can’t quit & claim UE. 
 

but yeah. I know a lot of people making more too. I don’t really care, it will run out and they’ll be poor AF because they don’t know the value of the money 

 

I know people (without jobs) who are using the money to buy cars, book luxury vacations, etc. morons

Yes you can. You’re eligible as long as you’ve held a full time position for a decent amount of time, regardless of how you left it.

 
But I’m pretty sure right now there’s little criteria for unemployment. Anyone who applies is pretty much guaranteed to get accepted in most cases.

[jehurey 3,237]

LOL, companies have been keeping worker's wages down.

 

When something happens, people get a little bit of unemployment benefits (that they paid into).

 

And now people are blaming the government because workers are figuring out that they've been underpaid for a very long time.

 

There's a reason why progressive Democrats are trying to push $15/hour minimum wage, because that forces everybody's wages to go up in a domino-effect.

 

Instead, short-sighted losers get mad at the idea of minimum wage workers possibly getting more money.

Um no that’s wrong. If you quit you don’t get jack. It’s for people fired, layed off or temporary lay offs

this. i know a lot of companies that push away employees (demotions/shit hours) instead of firing them for that reason.

It’s not universal but depends on the state. CT is very lax/liberal with this type of thing.

I still don’t believe that’s accurate. No one making under $600 a week would be working if that’s the case.

Here's a spoiler. You never had to look for a job. They only require that a person doesn't turn down work. There's no real way to confirm someone is looking for work. Again you make a fool of yourself. Just stop.

$15 an hour works out to $30k a year.

 

$2,000 a month works out to $24k a year.

 

So no lol.
