OldsCool, there is some logic to your post which I can understand, but I suspect SS will be under contract. However, there are other examples and, although off topic, I will give one. My son, owner of a small business engaged a member of staff just before lockdown, which resulted in him being unable to claim the furlough payment. Although struggling himself with mortgage etc himself, he paid her out of his own pocket of which she was fully aware. He rang her on Monday, to arrange her hours for his re-opening, only to be informed that she had got another job. I'm afraid, as much as I dislike it, honour has bypassed us, it is screw or be screwed in modern life. SS, keep the cash; a lot of people who have not suffered real pressure, do not appreciate the stress coming from the responsibility of any, let alone a struggling, business , large or small, can play havoc with health and mind.
P.S. If Westie50 is about, great retort, love Pinky.
