This country needs labor laws that actually protect workers is when time like this comes, average folks like us don't have to worry to sick about layoffs.

The tradeoffs of labor laws like that are lower salaries, higher unemployement (e.g., less jobs), slower economic growth, etc. The world doesn't need another Europe

EY4 is that a picture of you?

In that case this country needs an entrepreneurship law that protect business owners who are risking their capital to bring jobs to the market too. Small business owners are losing more than the employees now.

Wait what do you mean? What country?

Full time employment is also much harder to find in Europe as employers know how hard and expensive it is to let someone go (even if incompetent). Almost everyone is technically a contract worker until they are 27/28.

I agree protections would be nice and more solid contracts. But I also recognize doing that does make it harder to do hiring in general and can limit job movement and economic growth. It’s a catch 22. When the market crashes someone loses (often everyone). So you’re really just choosing who carries the burden more - employees, businesses (which will disproportionately include small and medium businesses which would collapse if they had to keep employees in a time like this), or taxpayers

Hey! Any Google folks know if it’s possible to negotiate fully remote if a contract role is hybrid? Personally, I don’t want to relocate and go to the office on a contract role given the current economy. Plus, I’m assuming contractors are the first to go in layoffs. I just think it’s a fair trade off if I’d be allowed to work fully remote. I’m also trying to have flexibility to manage my Airbnb business in a different country. Same time zone as the home office if I’d travel weeks at a time.
