Mike Lindell claims he's promised employees 'we're going to be OK' after bank cuts off credit

‘Yeah, I’d start looking for another job ASAP’: Mike Lindell claims he’s promised employees ‘we’re going to be OK’ after bank cuts off credit

Lindell told Bannon that “they’re very worried about our plans to secure the election” while referencing alleged attacks from undefined opponents on his company’s website, and threats against his call center.

“Every time they’re worried the attacks come full force at me,” Lindell said.

But the attacks are taking a toll on his business, Lindell told Bannon.

“My employees come to me all the time and they’re going, you know, are things going to be OK? Are we going to be OK? And it’s concerning for them all the time and all I can say is ‘yes, we will.’”

Lindell also touted sales of towels and slippers as a way to fight back against the attacks and reassure his employees.

“I have to give my employees confidence that we’re going to be OK,” Lindell told Bannon, “because it just doesn’t let up … and they’re just trying to run me completely out of money so I cannot continue to fight this election.”

-----------

Lindell also went on Bannon’s podcast yesterday to talk about more woes the company is facing. According to Lindell, a bank was ready to give a loan to him personally, but it was cut off “because … they deemed it political,” Lindell said.

He's not fighting fraud and he knows it.
He's not fighting FOR a fair election and he knows it.

He's fighting the election itself.

I see them ALL THE TIME now. Maybe he will start selling them as Christmas gifts, before he goes belly-up by December. Why don't his GQP buddies help him out? They have big bucks, especially Bannon.

emotionally. It's just your job. It's not your family. It's not your identity. It's not your life. It's just your occupation. Your goal is build up skills and experience for your next opportunity.

Corporations will lay you off when they're doing badly, and they will lay you off when they're hitting record profits. So, stop being emotionally dependent on them.
