prompt 101

If you had the power to change one law, what would it be and why?

I will abolish the At-Will Employment law so that the employer cannot terminate the employee at any time without notice.

I have seen people fired, and most of the time, it’s not because of the poor work performance of the employees but because of personal traits that collide with their supervisors/managers/colleagues, who appear to be all neurotypical.

Charlie Chaplin’s Modern Times depicts how a man is treated as an expendable component of the systematic organization. We are neither AIs nor toy soldiers marching forward unquestioningly at the command of winding tape. Therefore, I will abolish this inhumane At-Will Employment law so that people don’t need to fear losing financial security and mental stability. It will decrease the increasing rates of homelessness and poverty.

    I’d extend this to guaranteeing minimum hours per week. Two months ago, I was working 35-40+ hours per week. Now, I’m working less than 20 hours per week. One of my coworkers is only getting 5-6 hours a week and three are getting 11-12. It’s all to ensure management gets their bonuses this quarter.

      Heartfelt. Agreed to your proposal. Job security should be a must and made into a law. Thanks for the share. Hope all’s well with you.
