You aren't harming someone by declining to pay them for their work, especially not when there is severance involved.

- lovich 1y agoWith the way our society is set up to tie a large number of benefits necessary to live to employment, then yes you are actually harming someone by ending their employment. Severance might outweigh that harm, but it depends on the amount, if any is given. Also I want to point out that the vast majority of companies give 0 severance. I’ve gotten it once in my life and I’m fairly certain it was “shut the fuck up” money as they had done some shady shenanigans to a bonus I was entitled to.

- Arainach 1y agoHealthcare is necessary to live. Rent is necessary to live.
- lovich 1y agoAh yes, I forgot that surviving treatable diseases is a luxurious first world lifestyle. If you don’t believe that US regulations and law are set up in a way that pressures people to maintain employment at a company, then you have your head in the sand
- terminalshort 1y ago> surviving treatable diseases is a luxurious first world lifestyle Unironically correct
- lovich 1y agoWe are never seeing eye to eye on this if you think that way
- array_key_first 1y agoThis is just wrong. Employment is necessary to live in countries with poor social services, like the US.
