Isn't that 'employee privilege'? People who are in business for themselves often lose clients without notice. Employees easily forget how much they are shielded

- namdnay 5y agoWell… yes? Employees trade lower revenue for greater stability
- golemotron 5y agoBut, the query wasn't about stability. It was about emotional support.
- namdnay 5y agoyes, of which you expect more when you enter an employee-employer relationship than when you are independent
- golemotron 5y agoI'm not sure that's wise.
- namdnay 5y agoI know that the zeitgeist is to say “your employer doesn’t care about you, don’t care about them etc”, but honestly in my experience the employer-employee relationship is much more stable and human than a contractor-client one
- golemotron 5y agoIt's a buffer against the market. Nice when it works, but you can't count on it fully. Sometimes the outside world leaks through. I don't think anyone wanted to fire 900 people at once in this situation.
