You are conflating income stability with process stability. Income stability benefits workers, because when their income is stable (same amount in each paycheck, paychecks in regular intervals) it is much easier to make a budget. There is less worry about, "Will I get enough hours this week to pay my rent?" Process stability often benefits employers over workers, but sometimes it doesn't benefit either employers or workers. Flexible schedules are generally an acknowledgment by employers that they're not losing much (and may even see productivity gains) by allowing workers to have some wiggle room in their hours -- but workers gain a lot from this flexibility.
