The headline sums up a lesson that many European countries have yet to learn. People there complain about stagnant job growth, the rise of temporary, “contract” work, and the dismal market for young workers. But companies know that workers who are hired to the regular payroll are very difficult to terminate for any reason; hence, the extreme reluctance to hire them to begin with.
Especially in places links the EU. Fire a 35hr/WK French worker and you’ll basically end up paying them almost as much to not work.
This is why we are going to see more family only operations. I know that there are intra-family disputes, but typically the family businesses work out pretty well. It’s the outsiders that are disloyal; the outsiders are the ones that complain to the state employment board or launch lawsuits.
This illustrates a larger point. We are increasingly seeing actions that are not only polarizing but are also resulting in more private & exclusive associations. Just look what’s going on with the attack on Christians, patriots, preppers, vets etc. It is getting to the point where we will need to create these enclaves and insular communities that only interact and do business with each other.
