Small businesses are the petit-bourgeoise that extract surplus value from people who aren’t employed by the major industrialists or financiers. If it’s a local franchise, I still have no sympathy for them because at the end of the day they are scraping a part of the entire worth of the workers’ labor in order to keep those “razor-margin” margins that always tend to line the pockets of most owners at the expense of the worker. The owner may be struggling, but they aren’t struggling like the person getting paid just above minimum wage to do the work to make THEM money. The fact that they have collateral such as real estate demonstrates that point entirely. More and more people can’t even afford a house. In the months of running at a loss; what was the owner of the franchise’s paycheck like?
I laid out plenty of reasons why you may have been black-listed. Could be the union or the fault of administration, not wanting to deal with restaurants because of those profit margins, etc.
Non-profits, all though they can be exploitative, do not run under the model of extracting the value from workers in order to line the pockets of their owner, instead going to the cause they work towards.
I also do volunteer work. People make more than me everywhere.

I guess I’m doing it wrong. I run a small nonprofit now, and other people there make more than I do.
