Topic: Economic situation declining and famous celebs not paying workers - page 2. (Read 816 times)

I also understand that all parties are affected by this corona virus, including celebrities and big companies. But that does not mean
for that reason they do not perform their obligation to pay workers. Celebrity and big companies should realize that the impact of
workers is much greater, if these workers are not paid then there is a possibility that they and their family cannot eat.

Honestly, it saddens me to know that even the celebrities are cold hearted when it comes to their workers. Well, I do understand that their businesses are also affected amid with the existence of the covid-19 pandemic that is why they are keeping on hold their funds since there is still no source of income that is potential to give them earnings. But they were already that rich to provide their needs on daily life basis compared to those workers that are directly affected because of their temporary loss of jobs since business establishments are temporarily close in part of the community quarantine to at least stop the potential spread of virus on work places.

But may at least those celebrities give even a little part of their earnings to those who deserve and need it because seriously, those people who are their workers are somewhat part of their big break since they were the ones behind their success. Celebrities must help those people and just treat it as their responsibility to their people even at this time of pandemic because honestly, they can easily earn those money back and more than enough of what they would give to their people once their businesses came back to operation. It is just awful that this scenario is existing even at times like this that many are needy and those that have more than enough are just calmly sitting on their moneys while others are seeking ways to live and survive this pandemic.

I'm also very sorry for these people. Honest and responsible employers certainly need to take care of their employees. People did the right thing to start "attacking" them on social networks. If they value their reputation as famous personalities and global brands, they will be obliged to pay what they owe.

People are not ready to go for this lockdown, they can't do it. This is why I am not happy with China, their government that refused to reveal this situation on time, and they didn't even take action by stopping air travels to other countries as a way to stop the virus from going into other countries.

If they did the things they are supposed to do, we wouldn't be here today worrying about how to go on lockdown and all these worries we are having right now. It is just not easy, some companies won't have money to pay their workers because there is no income coming in. But, I think they should still find a way to settle those people for the work they have done before now.

Even with the thing they just need, that is just fine. With a helping hand they would be able to secure their lives in this pandemic, help is what they need but the thing is that even though there are hands that are willing to help, those hands are not enough. They really have it rough. We can't really remove poverty in this world.

That is common in every private business and not only in celebrities.The first reason for what a private company works is to maximize their profit and they do not really care about workers that much.That is why sindicates were created to stop the tyranny of the owners versus their workers.I think everyone who does this should be punished by law and we should enforce this otherwise this will never change.

It is awful and absurd for the part of those people who have been working for celebrities that have not received any help or support from their bosses at this time of pandemic just because their businesses are temporarily close. May they at least give some concern or at least give a handful of their stored wealth to help those people that have been working for them and have been one of the keys behind their success. That would be just a small percentage of their wealth that they can surely regain once this pandemic is over and once their businesses have reopened once again. May they at least give a hand for those who are needy because seriously, this quarantine due to pandemic is unfavorable for the poor people because indeed they are safe inside their house but there are also other things that they need to survive. May the celebrities just treat the help they would give as a good deed or social responsibility for they can still have more than enough of money right beside them.

A little support for those workers would do since they were seriously affected for being temporarily jobless because of the pandemic.

I feel that because I have that experience before. That is a pain for me at that time, but I cannot do anything. Some of them can back to the old job during the other search for the new job because they cannot continue to work in the old company. The company will substitute with other peoples if they think that we cannot work better, and that is easy for the company to search for new workers. If the old workers can still give their best to the company, they will still work for that company.

Life is really unfair to those who are under those successful and rich people because they can't buy everything they need and ever wanted, that is why they work hard to reach their goals and become successful in life. But in the middle of a pandemic, the poor people become poorer that a lot of people have lost most of their jobs and gives them a huge problem with how they would live and feed their families every day.

Well said!..

On this pandemic situation we are in, its understandable that there would be changes since it would be mainly affecting all sorts of business and industries throughout the globe and losing

profits or revenue is part of it which do even cause total bankruptcy and closure of such business.Lets talk about wage or workers salary.Its just really part of the responsibility as an owner to pay

up its workers hard work.Its just inhuman if you do just call it quits or would tend to pay it out.

There was a similar case I heard in gambling section where the casinos were not paying their workers while some casinos were paying so this is happening everywhere but it feels worst when rich and royal people do this. Maybe in future there should be a bond/clause where the labour must be paid if there is a pandemic situation like this and the worker has no option to earn.

There are some basketball players who paid their workers and donated for the relief funds while there are people by kylie Jenner who just cannot pay their owner workers. This is the time when we get to know our real heroes and selfish people are also spotted.

I know that. It is just that even though these companies are affected, those people above have their complete meals, have their own house for them to be safe from the virus, have their family secured even weeks and weeks of quarantine or lockdowns while those poor workers can't do that. Life is unfair but I hope they should really consider paying them even half since they really needed it.

Although as easy as it sounds there are more workers than boss and the brutal reality is that if you don't stick to your job now you might face much more troubles and the company owners know this and they are taking advantage of such times because they know if even they pay half the salary they can retain their workers or even get new ones.

That is the reason why jobs are always considered to be temporary because as long as you are useful to them they will allow and once they find a cheaper or better substitute you are out without a mistake being made. I personally feel that people should not leave their jobs during these times, no matter what!

Yes that is a real shame and even if they are affected by the situation they should understand that they can easily manage the situation and not paying their workers is going to do a lot more harm than good. I mean it takes only a small initiative and people may boycott their brands and certainly the celebs can come back to their feet in no time.

It makes me feel so bad when people are saying this "I will die of hunger before I die of the virus" because this is so true and rich celebs sitting in their house eating chicken cannot imagine the situation and I actually wish people boycott their brands and raise their voice against such arrogant celebs because they are celeb as long as common people make them feel so.

most celebrities that i know dont have a profesion but till the date they joined hollywood or showbizness they start to earn and save up eventually they invest and own a business . they also have a savings in the bank so its impossible that they cant pay   . they can sell thier stuffs too that they dont use alot or already excess like jewelries  , cars , gadgets  .  there so many ways and they cant do alibi's with that  .  paying little by litte is also alright than no payments at all  but as long as they pay on the exact given date

From what I have seen, the level of greed is proportional to net worth. In most cases, middle-class individuals are more generous when compared to all those HNW and UHNW individuals. You can check various crowdfunding campaigns and it can be seen that almost all the contributions come from those who belong to the middle-class. The uber-rich very rarely take part in charity.

Anyway, that's their choice. If someone doesn't want to help others, then we can't intervene. It's his personal liberty. But here, it's different. The uber rich are refusing to pay salaries to their employees. This is plain despicable behaviour, and these people needs to be shamed for that.

The economic situation will soon recover, and many countries will pass the worst situation because of the pandemic. People will search for new jobs offline or online because they need to have money to buy their daily needs. The government's help is not enough if the private business is not trying to do its best to reopen the new jobs for the people. If some workers don't get payment from their bosses, they don't need to come back to the old bosses, but they can search for another boss who can give them the new jobs.

I kinda annoyed about this complain. To be honest, it's not logical because most people that always complain was those who's earning minimum wage and if ever they get virus on there job, they don't money for there hospital bills and they just made there lives more miserable. The government are giving support to all people which is sufficient if they will just used it wisely. I'm not against the minimum wager because I belong with them. I just don't want the way they think, they are risking there live for bit of money. The virus is not forever.

This pandemic really show us the importance of savings. I hope that everyone is safe.

You're right, mate. They have to have a talk first that things are not going well because of the pandemic and their business might not be able to pay them like before. I'm sure their employees will understand the cut in salary because they are well aware of the situation. The most important thing is that they paid their employees. But this is most likely applicable to small businesses.

For those big names, on the other hand, owned by celebrities and not paying up, I don't think their employees deserve that. They should give them their salary because their the ones behind the production of the products that made them rich. Besides, probably that's not the only source of income they have. They're rich because of their profession and not their business alone so they can afford to pay their employees which are in big need in this trying time.

Yes, it may sound true but there are things that could be  done to this like helping  each other like cutting salary into which the owner can afford to give. If the owner really does not want to do give the salary to their employee then better to hold first their service render. It is also hard to pay them when the owner has no income at all and no funds to pay for it.

The problem is that business owner had prolong the agony on no income and paying salary to their employee. This has been a problem and thisn is why many business now were being temporarily closed because they could not affrod to give salary without imcome anymore. The Pandemic has been long enough like 3 months and this will force business owners to stop first the operation.

Well not really like that but there are other options like cutting the numbers of workforce due to pandemic lesser income and few workforce needed. Also the company could close temporarily and can get back when things go back to normal.
