It’s the age old issue with capitalism - corporations cry uncle when times are tough, cut workers, cut benefits, ask for government handouts, etc but when times are good, they want to retain as much of those profits as they can without tricking them down to the workers. And by the way, I’m saying this as an owner of multiple businesses - I give my employees vesting equity in the business so that the performance of the entity is aligned with their own financial outcomes. It’s better for them, and it actually works out better for me too.
