The businesses literally shut down because of that? They were that stubborn? Or they noticed it too late?

  The one I was most familiar with was a business that edited wedding photos and videos. The owner insisted that each employee be on site each day. There were other factors too such as the fact that he forced them to work on Windows machines when each employee had M1 Macs at home. He made the fatal mistake of saying “if you don’t like it, go start your own business.” Well, two of them did. My wife and I gave them the money they needed to do a bit of marketing and hooked them up with our attorneys. Now they work wherever they wish. The owner made a lot of entertaining social media posts afterwards about how lazy workers are ruining this country. The guy was a walking stereotype

    How can you be sure that the business itself didn't fail?

      It did fail. He had no employees and he didn't know how to perform the work himself. In our local FB and Nextdoor groups, there were many brides complaining about not receiving their photos/videos for months after their weddings. He wasn't bright enough to outsource. He ended just returning all the original photos/videos and refunding deposits. The building he leased is still vacant today. Whenever my wife saw someone complain, she would refer them to the former employees who went and started their own LLC.
