There are entire industries insulated enough for illegal HR practices to prevail. “Other places to work” line of reasoning is tone deaf and functionally abusive

- sneak 7y agoI’m not sure how privately holding the opinion “anyone who can choose non-abusive employers should choose them over abusive ones” is itself “functionally abusive”. Freedom of association is a powerful tool.
- SAI_Peregrinus 7y agoThe problem is that it gets advocated as "anyone can choose non-abusive employers over abusive ones", which is simply false.
- acdha 7y agoIt’s abusive when it’s used as it was here to imply that it’s the worker’s fault for accepting bad working conditions, as if there aren’t many well documented reasons why that’s hard for most people.
- sneak 7y agohttps://sneak.berlin/20191201/american-communication/ https://sneak.berlin/20191201/american-communication/ I made no such implication. You appear to be reading something I simply did not say.
- acdha 7y agoThen what was the point of replying to a comment about bad working conditions to say people should switch jobs? The entire discussion was about how it’s getting harder to avoid certain practices. Do you really think most people with bad working environments haven’t considered the option?
