What's the point of a right if it can't be exercised?
- belltaco 5y agoThe company also has the right to fire you.
- tored 5y agoPhilosophically or legally? I’m fully aware that US has weak worker laws, but in Europe you can’t fire people based on whim.
- dekhn 5y agoEmployees at Google are mostly at-will. Google can fire them any time, although typically, they produce a 6+ month performance record with failure to do job before terminating (mostly to protect against lawsuits). However, Google has terminated people on the spot, with cause. The government will back Google firing people for not being vaccinated.
- tored 5y agoThe takeaway is that the general left now is for firing employees for political or medical reasons, when historically they were against. Why that is, at least in Europe, is because the left is no longer majority working class, it is majority middle class.
- tene 5y agoFor example, the right to freedom of association, and choosing not to employ people who are making reckless choices that impact the safety of their coworkers?
- tored 5y agoChoosing whom to hire is different from whom to fire.
- Spooky23 5y agoYour right to make bad choices doesn’t create an obligation for me to sit with you, nor for my employer to employ you.
