American workers have just started getting the barest minimum of a few lucky breaks. But that is terrifying to Rattner and his fellow moguls, so they need some sort of rational argument for why these bare scraps of power are actually bad for everyone.
Are you in the states? I’m not and I don’t fully understand “at will employment” but I thought that meant they can just go “nope” at any time and let you go?
Right. At-will essentially means both you the employee, and the employer, can, at any time for any reason or no reason, end the employment
It’s sort of a double-edged sword. On the one hand, you the employee are not obligated to submit a notice period or do anything special to quit, which is great. On the other hand, employers can and often will drop people with zero warning.
