    Three #Amazon employees who were publicly critical of the company’s treatment of employees during the #COVID-19 outbreak have been fired.

    Also, the #SBA expects the full !smallbiz support fund to be committed by Thursday (2020-04-16). Hopefully President #Trump and #Congress can get their acts together to add more to the pot.

    Hedge funds applying for bailout funds meant for !Smallbiz? I sincerely hope the agencies involved deny their requests.

    Thread on #Twitter about the quarantine’s impact on !smallbiz (and therefore, on their owners, managers, employees, suppliers, customers). A lot of people in the #Fediverse don’t seem to understand that when the restaurants close, those employees, who already struggle to stay afloat, are left with nothing.

      No small business has a fortress balance sheet. In practice most business owners don't live month-to-month, but they do live quarter-to-quarter. And, most are low-margin businesses with customer concentration. Most small businesses, and especially hospitality-based, are toast.

    President Trump and Congress working on another Paid Sick Leave bill for the #COVID-19 / #2019-nCoV / #SARS-CoV-2 #coronavirus outbreak ... this one sounds like it may pass. But it doesn't require large companies (the ones with the most resources) to match the requirements it places on smaller and medium size businesses. (Tax credits for smaller businesses) ... I'd also prefer to see them just send small and medium sized businesses #SMBs a check (or send it directly to the affected employees) instead of putting even more complexity in the tax code.

    1. Paid sick leave: Who gets it during the coronavirus outbreak
      Most of America’s nearly 159 million workers will get access to some paid time off if they or their family are impacted by the coronavirus. Here’s a rundown of how it works.

    “This week, we will be offering Mahi-mahi!” Thus begins a marketing e-mail sent by the people that sell smoked salmon at the Farmers Market.

    I think it is very sad that someone is telling businesses that they have to send these messages to everyone that buys from them. I’ve enjoyed buying your smoked salmon, and would be open to purchasing other products, but this is not the way to build goodwill among customers.

    Every !smallbiz should be told, again and again, to make these sorts of communications OPT-IN (or “active subscribe”) only. It reflects negatively on Square that they facilitated this without asking me first.

    @bthall Does your campus business department have a partnership with #US_SBA? If so, you may be able to get credits for advising and assisting registered small businesses. Sometimes, they need marketing help, sometimes, they need help putting together a funding proposal, sometimes they need formation advice. You'll probably have to take a couple of !smallbiz courses beforehand.

    1. Court: Starbucks, others must pay workers for off clock work
      from News Tribune
      SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Starbucks and other employers in California must pay workers for minutes they routinely spend off the clock on tasks such as locking up or setting the store alarm, the state Supreme Court ruled Thursday.
