I honestly don't necessarily disagree with this, but the issue is when you are bringing back previously full time employees and doing this. I honestly hope that they aren't but the ACA line of what makes someone part time or full time is really funky. It wasn't really couched in weekly hours, it was based on hours over the year, hence the way some of this help right now is working huge hours over 6 months then getting cut, as opposed to having 2 people working 25 hours a week. Of course some of that is coming back to the fact they can't get enough people hired.
I mean...EVERY industry is struggling to hire people right now and this is one of the few things getting even a few people in the door. There's so many reasons that there's a struggle that it's hard to pin down a single thing, from people not wanting public facing jobs, people working from home, finding new jobs, finding other streams of income, and parents not wanting their kids working with an ongoing pandemic. If this were a unique to BGW thing, it's a more understandable complaint, but it really isn't.
