Underlying issue here is US employment laws. No one should ever work for someone else any minute over what they are being paid for. How can you go through work

Underlying issue here is US employment laws. No one should ever work for someone else any minute over what they are being paid for.
How can you go through work life not knowing if you have a job on Monday? This seems so insane to me and it must take a mental toll on people.
- chrisco255 8y agoIf they're salaried and presumably stock comped employees they are being paid for their work. The flexibility to let go of employees is a double edged sword, but it's an important part of the U.S. economy. Without that ability, a risky endeavor would never be able to be undertaken. Companies would be way more leary of hiring more employees for fear of having to jump through bureaucratic hoops to let an employee go. In the meantime a company could suffer and ultimately die if not given the flexibility to evolve and adapt to changing market conditions. A U.S. employee has to understand this. Nobody going to work at Tesla is unaware that the company is taking on multiple risks on multiple fronts and not all of them may pan out. But I would argue that the American worker ultimately and on average benefits from the vibrant economy that such pro-business policies cultivate.

- md2be 8y agoThere are many many options to assure yourself of Job security. If that is important to you, working for a highly leveraged company with a ceo who has a history of acting impulsively should be avoided.
