The last place I worked at sent an email of "congratulations" to the staff for a new annual profit record, and instituted a pay freeze later in the same month because they were trying and eventually did sell to a publically traded company and low payroll looks better in the sale, that proceeded to fire everyone because they were only interested in killing local competition in the market.

Workers working too hard for the owner literally cost us our jobs.

The owners have no bravery and take no risks that labor doesn't bear the biggest brunt of. This entire economy is a scam that stands on pillars of lies/propaganda.

Side note, who the fuck celebrates their employer making record profits if they aren't in a super rare in the US cooperative or generous stock dispersment program? The whole point of employment is to provide the least labor for the most reward while they try to get the most labor for the least reward, record profits means I'm working too hard for them.

AdaptHealth was the national conglomerate that swalllowed us and a hundred other local homecare/dme providers for overt competition slaughter btw. Their whole goal was/is to enshittify home healthcare/dme for private profit, and the original ceo had to step down because he committed tax evasion in a European country that actually gives a shit. If they're in charge of your grandmother's homecare/dme, say your goodbyes to grandma and make sure they didn't triple bill.
