You’re operating under an assumption that there is an employment contract with a long notice period in place. In many (most?) American jobs this is not the case

- tialaramex 3y agoIn Britain the "casualisation" of labour is considered a big problem and unions fight it. As we see in this thread, many Americans believe that it's actually a good idea. But if you go look at the actual behaviour at the top and bottom you see that as with many of these things the supposedly "bad" benefits labour movements in Europe fought to get for their workers are just like the things "good" senior management have agreed for themselves (but deny to their workers) in the US.
- DontchaKnowit 3y agoHonestly I think the difference is that there is a higher rate of self employment/small business ownership. The more legal burden placed on hiring and firing the more you fuck over small operations and give advantage to larger ones. I think this may at least partially explain the attitude of americans. Less of an us vs them mentality cause many lowly workers ARE senior management of their own gig.
