I've worked at companies that don't outright require it, but they utilize a few workaholic employees to set an expectation sane people can't live up to. It creates a stressful environment where expectations are unclear. Combine that with the current job market and you effectively hold your employees hostage.
replyYou are lucky. This bill is for the unlucky, because luck is not a strategy as it relates to labor rights and protections.
replyYeah, now I see that my message came out a bit differently than I wanted it to. What I wanted to say is that it sucks this needs to be a law instead of just being common sense.
replyAbsolutely sucks, but it’s where we’re at, so it must be done. If your policy isn’t law, it doesn’t exist except as a suggestion.
replyPersonally, I was very lucky. I recognize it was almost all luck. Born at the right place to the right people. Opportunities I was lucky to have because of that. Winning when gambling on relationships, professional work, and in the capital markets. I advocate for unlucky people whenever possible, because humans who did not choose to be here should not suffer due to their poor luck.
