Jarmak posted:That not what at will employment even means, it literally has no impact if you're fired for cause. quote:Use in US labor union contracts[edit] Employment at will means your employer can bypass 100% of the above things. They don't have to give you forewarning, they do not have to have a write-up process, they do not have to give you chances or make sure you are aware of the policy, and they don't even have to have hard rules on the books to explain why you are fired. Employment at will means you can be fired for literally any reason whatsoever, and the only justification your employer needs to prove is "they did something we felt was wrong", not "they did something wrong that they knew was wrong and that we tried to correct". The difference between at-will employment and the former status quo is that in an at-will state your employer can make up a reason to fire you, on the spot, and as long as you did the thing they made up the reason for it is a justified termination. They do not need to prove your disciplinary record. In an AWE scenario, it is the employer's judgement that decides what just cause is, not any legal standard. a shameful boehner posted:any other hot takes you got like your support for the genocide of native peoples Hey man, high school dropouts and white supremacists need to feed their families too Mirthless fucked around with this message at 20:02 on Mar 22, 2016 |

a shameful boehner posted:They're the same in practice, a form of social insurance that is inelastic and paid through taxes. Why are they different? If you set fire to your home the fire service puts the fire out and the police put you in jail. If you set fire to your career, no-strings unemployment gives you a free vacation and a ton of free time. One of those is a bad incentive.

...no...that's not how it works. At will employment just means your employer can separate you for any reason. If they want to fire you for cause (ie: deny you benefits), that has a specific meaning and they have to be ready to show proof.

its too bad that it isn't possible for every homeless person to receive the same cushy benefits like food, boarding, clothing, and tricon healthcare that any dumbass like the slithery d can get instead of having to walk down to their local enlistment office, there should be more hoops to get those benefits in the military maybe after you do a few tours and have some provable PTSD, then you get tricon and have to pay your own way otherwise, that sounds fair ex post facho fucked around with this message at 20:15 on Mar 22, 2016 |

wateroverfire posted:Tell them to keep looking because there is a shitload of churn in the US labor market. I looked very hard for a job the last time I was unemployed. I did everything someone could reasonably expect. Applied for jobs every day. Went to interviews constantly. Had a top-ranked Linkedin for my area and a professionally touched up resume. There was too many people looking in the field in my area because of massive layoffs (the same layoffs I got caught up in) - the supply of workers simply outstripped the demand. I eventually got stuck taking temp jobs that didn't give me benefits and had horrible health problems as a result. I got constantly dicked over by recruiters, too. I can't count the number of bait and switch interviews I had to bail out of mid-way through because it turned out my recruiter just flat-out lied about the position. I had one temp contract that I got loving tricked into and then couldn't get out of becuase I wouldn't be able to restart my benefits if I'd quit. Being unemployed is a goddamn nightmare in some parts of the country.

If your goal is more mobility in the labor market, wouldn't offering unemployment to people who quit their jobs be a solution to that? If you're worried about people just turning jobs into a revolving door, make the quit benefits tied to the number of years you've been on the job or something. Two months of quit-unemployment per year of service up to 1yr of unemployment. Suddenly people who feel enslaved to a low paying dead end job have options and the job market becomes far more fluid overnight.

Posters claiming to be after public health in order to hide their desire to get back at that bitch Debra in HR. Good poo poo. As mentioned on previous pages GMI or reformed saner to access welfare at least is more achievable and solves more problems than questionable firing law proposals that may run afoul of free association. And no, R2W and at-will are different things. As demonstrated by the fact that one existed decades before the other.
