It started in the 1990s when part-time people were downsized and replaced with full-time people. Then overtime was killing coroprations so they moved people to salary instead of hourly. No more overtime pay, one salary no more sick and vacation days but PTO or paid time off hours instead. You are expected to work 60 to 80 hours a week, or else you get bad performance reviews and fired. In most at will employment states the company can fire you for any reason not related to civil rights law. They don't like your tie, fired. They don't like the way you walk or smile, fired. Someone accuses you of something they have no evidence or proof of, like being rude, you are fired. This is done to avoid civil suits, fired for no reason, or fired for a petty reason not related to civil rights. Say you have 25 years in IT, you are African-American, but in your older age things change. You wear your tie differently because you found a new tie knot style. They can't fire you for your race or age, so they Instead fire you for not tying your tie the same way everyone else does. I wrote about this problem before and nobody took it seriously.
