Are lockdown even legal in the US?
- wmeredith 10y agoEh, they probably can't legally make you stay, but they can certainly fire your ass for leaving.
- EpicEng 10y ago>Eh, they probably can't legally make you stay I mean, they absolutely cannot. We have a term for that; it's called 'kidnapping'.
- dragonwriter 10y agoActually, its "false imprisonment". "Kidnapping" is different.
- will_brown 10y agoUnder False Imprisonment FB could lock the employees in, just as long as the employees didn't know they were locked in at the time of being locked in (i.e. they only found out later after FB unlocked them) ;)
- EpicEng 10y agoDepends on the state, but I don't think you're correct. https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=difference%20between%20false%20imprisonment%20and%20kidnapping https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&e...
- mike_hock 10y agoWrongful dismissal?
- flyt 10y agoNo, and this isn't what Facebook did internally. "Lockdown" was more of a way of thinking about the problem and cover for working longer hours rather than literally locking the doors to prevent people from going home.
