What do you think about the mismatch of labor and employment laws and the modern nature of our economy after the technological boom? Am I the only one who thinks (and am I crazy to think) there are some benefits to workers from the gig economy, and it might be best long term to pass new employment laws to ensure worker protections while maintaining these benefits instead of trying to shove the current gig economy back into the 1960s? I’d love to hear your thoughts.

I don’t see why any employment attorney would not want gig workers treated as employees. P firms would have many more clients to put into suit and that makes work for D firms like mine. Also the right thing to do for the workers. Only losers are employers themselves and their employment practices insurance carriers.

It does. But it doesn’t prevent us from extending it to contractors in the gig economy...

How much stock do you put on benefits? I have two offers with stark differences in benefits. Job 1: role I want, but benefit sucks (2 weeks paternity leave, 20% coinsurance).

I wonder if I should just focus on role but Job 2 is a large company, so I can move around after 2-3 years I’d expect. Thoughts?
