Quote:Just playing devil's advocate here, and hypothetically at that since Drifter's article has proven to be trash, but how is an employee asking to be scheduled fewer hours so they can keep welfare any different than an employer cutting that employee's hours to keep them off of the company benefits program?


Seems kind of win-win to me from the employer/employee point of view.

There isn't much difference other then the responsibility role. The employer isn't responsible for the well being of the employee. You can argue it's in the employers best interest to consider the employees well being but ultimately the employer is contracting the employee to complete a task.


Now when the individual works to artificially keep their wages low to continue welfare benefits it's the same as the people that don't look for a job until the unemployment Checks stop. The whole safety net only works if people are honest about when they need it.
