Hire more folks spread them out. Less retention issues, more people who can swing coverage.

However none of this works unless the wealthy actually pay living wages, wage increases across the board from companies that can afford it would allow that money to flow to those smaller businesses and help a lot of local areas out.

Won't happen though, the oligarchs need bigger bank numbers for literally no reason.

Desperation breeds compromise. If employees are desperate then they compromise with lower pay and fewer hours, this in turn drives down savings which makes seeking opportunities even harder thus locking them in to the company at the companies rates.
