No employer pays for food outside of work. The vast majority of employers do not pay for housing. No employers are paying for your water supply at home (unless they are paying for housing).
You are confusing employers paying for things that are part of your job and paying for things to cover your entire life. It's ridiculous to tie the latter to your employer because then you have to fear for your life if you lose your job.
- gambiting 9y agoOh I haven't confused anything. And you seem unaware how nationalised health insurance works - let me explain. Yes, my employer pays into my health insurance. I guess you could say that my health insurance is tied to my work, sure. Except that the crucial difference between what you imagine and what actually happens is that everyone who is a citizen is always covered for everything, always, unconditionally. Even if I lose my job, hey, I don't have to fear for my life because I'm still 100% covered. In fact I could be unemployed, homeless, and yes, you guessed it - I'm still fully covered, and so is everyone else. Same with a pension - everyone will get one, but it's the employer's responsibility to pay into the scheme, not mine - why would it be mine?
