About this listen

 If you check social media lately you'll see that businesses have been posting signs saying that no one has been showing up for their shifts at different restaurants and no one wants to work anymore. Republican governors have been cutting extra unemployment benefits because they want to incentivize people to get back to work who have been getting a little too comfortable with that extra $300 dollar payout during the pandemic. Is there more to the story? Are people hesitant to return to work sectors that left them high and dry the very minute they showed signs of trouble? Are people now demanding a little more from employers after they've shown what they're willing to do when times get tough? That's what we discuss on today's episode of Acts of Pod.
