> Just we shouldn't be applying aggregate performance reviews based on this episode which don't account for the varying burdens being experienced Empathetically I agree, but as a realist you can't expect that burden to be shouldered by American businesses who are already hurting. If I kept employing someone that was a net-negative I'd be penalizing those who are keeping their stuff together by keeping them on the payroll during a market downturn... pandemic or not. You don't stay in business by accepting extraneous risk over people's personal problems. This is why I'm supportive of a livable UBI - most of the American corporate environment is make-work and it shouldn't be looked down on for non-market-performers to exit the workforce and exist doing whatever. Leave the work to people who want to work... simple as that.
