Companies true colors will show through this. If people continue to work for them when the dust settles that’s their issue. At a point in our lives we have to understand companies should want you as much as you want them. It’s a 2 way relationship.

This sucks but expected response from this guy. I'm sure that he is doing the same thing with his restaurant empire.

Are the Houston Rockets players and personnel being paid since the NBA cancelled the season?

Tilman isn't going to value someone that spins a ball on a wheel and then calls out that number the ball lands on.

I understand what you are saying but it's not like many of these are irreplaceable positions that require specific talents that can't be taught.

The players probably get their guarantees but usually, pro players are paid per game during the season. NFL players are for sure so I would be surprised if they are paid.

Is it surprising that a company that exists to suck the marrow from society's weakest, appealing to the worst in human nature, would be so callous and greedy and heartless?


L’Auberge gave all their employees 2 weeks paid vacation.

this is the free market.

if those people don't like it, they should open their own casino and run it the way they think is right.


right?

His Wikipedia is already updated to reflect what he's doing to his restaurant employees.

IT guys must be on furlough.

In 2020, when faced with the pandemic Coronavirus (Covid-19), Mr Fertitta left his employees in the lurch by not only refusing to allow those who qualified for vacation time use that earned time to give them some income during the shutdown of restaurants, but also decided to continue to charge the $9.90 every two weeks for the privilege of drinking soda on the clock while working at his locations. During this time, Mr Fertitta decided he was better served by going on CNBC and complaining about how his $4.6 Billion dollar net worth was being hurt by losing $1 million dollars per day in restaurant sales, and making quotes like “Stop worrying, it’s not like you’ll die”.

Yep. Those employees need to pull themselves up by their bootstraps and start their own casino bro.

Yes not allowing people to use their earned PTO is 100% reasonable.

I saw something yesterday that said people are supposed to have 3-6 months of savings for times like this but as soon as an emergency happens businesses go crying to the government for a bailout.

Good point. It's not a free market when the Gov tells you that you can't operate. However, not allowing people to use PTO is shitty on his part no matter how you twist it.
