You've essentially described how employment works, and yes, it can be rather unpleasant.
- hobbe80 10mo agoHonestly, that is not how employment works in most of the (civilized) world. In the US, sure, but elsewhere we do have labor laws that matter.
- idiotsecant 10mo agoYes, both of those scenarios involve a power imbalance when none need exist. That's what labor organization is for.
- TulliusCicero 10mo agoCan't say I disagree!
