I read the story couple times to grasp on the action
Of the owner of Houston Rockets.
Tillman is a billionaire with a big pocket.
He made most of his money in hospitality businesses.
While he is not broke right now, he made a heavy decision for a lot of his ex-employees.
He furloughed them with severance package and allow them to get employment benefits.
Why not keep them on payroll?
Actually give them a choice is a good thing as well.
Since they are furloughed they can come back quick for work when things are plausible.
It could be a way to bring people back not all at once but little by little as business picks up. I think it is a smart move for everyone. 45000 is a big number. This economy is falling on his head.
I recalled at the beginning of this pandemic the players were giving the people working at the stadium some money to get by.
Even though sport is like in coma, we will always think of it in a manner where it has to come back.
While I was talking about NBA, the commissioner will wait till May to know what is next for this season. If there is a chance they may go straight to playoffs, benefiting a team like the Lakers and Milwaukee.
This is another story of the season is back.
Stay fit.
