Yep, keep everyone part-time so they don't get benefits.

which is in unintended but predictable side effect of requiring those benefits for full-time employees.

  • shakes fist at sky "if only we didn't have to pay those pesky benefits then we wouldn't be forced to make the roles abusive contractor/part-time roles...Wild people even try to take this stance.

    • I'm baffled. Do you not see the normative vs descriptive claim here?

      The reality is that requiring benefits imposes a cost, and employers manage that cost by limiting who qualifies. So yes, this hurt many workers - and disproportionately impacted disadvantaged people who didn't make the full-time cliff.

      Ignoring increntives is actually shaking your fist at the sky.
