a non-living wage all during the CoVid pandemic even when most customers arrived un-masked. Did they reward him with a raise, no! For a couple weeks before, comp time--sent him home early w/pay. On the outskirts of a big city with multiple locations, did they transfer him to a store that needed to fill workers and so make up hours or try to augment the 20 PT hours plus $40, he's now been assigned at that store, no? So now, he essentially works half as much as we need to feed and pay the utitilies, disgusting and immoral. I smell ageism at work at the very least, but he does more physically meeting his scheduled hours and mentally handling the vendors than the CovIdiots they've hired lately that never even bother to show up. Their personal lives and emotions are in such chaos, they "cry" and just can't work once they get there. Again, "nothing personal, just business."
