Yeah, but when you become internet famous in certain circles then the income stream appears. Within hours of this hitting various sub-reddits a gufundme was in place (https://www.gofundme.com/f/thedacare-exemployee-support-fund?qid=aa789870144c2da5f66211913e8c01b4 https://www.gofundme.com/f/thedacare-exemployee-support-fund...) and has pulled in almost 60K to cover these workers for the period in which they will not be working for their former employer, just in case the order is not overturned in the next 24 hours.
- namelessoracle 5y ago60k doesnt cover their loss though. Not for 7 people, who all have professional salaries and expenses. Who likely dont have another job opportunity for same profession without uprooting their lives other than the other job they tried to take. (how many radiology labs are actively hiring 7 people in any city at a moment?) It may cover it for a month. Where they have to hope that they can one day work for this new company (if the judge allows it, and judges will often dig their heels in and drag things out if they get caught out like this). Or they can keep doing what they are doing now. What do normal people with kids and mortgages choose?
- zamadatix 5y agoEven assuming no more money comes in and the judge's order stands in a month there would be nothing preventing them from going to work at ThedaCare again at such a point instead of doing so immediately. After all the lawsuit is literally to try to keep them from leaving not actually about where it is they are going to. My guess is the money they'll get will actually outlive the order anyways though, but there is no risk if it doesn't.
