They are. And it would be funny if it weren’t such utter bullshit. As if the sizeable chunk of the population that lives paycheck to paycheck could actually afford to hold on to a couple thousand dollars in stimulus funds. When shit is waaayyyy more expensive than it was 3 years ago and wages haven’t really climbed that much.
My company was really arrogant and gave all the employees a one time bonus, basically our own little stimulus, thinking the pandemic wouldn’t impact us. Fast forward a year and they laid a bunch of people off to save money. I would have much rather them kept the money and not laid those people off.
And somehow these CEOs are still talking about pandemic money 3 years later.

My employer got $600,000 in ERC. Meanwhile, I haven’t had a pay increase in over 2 years. Been with the company for over 10 years.

The $800 stimi will never be forgotten.
The “pandemic money” is the $2,000 I was given 3 years ago? No, I still have that squared away in case of a rainy day.
