hopefully no notice. employed people need to maintain savings for a rainy day in case they are suddenly unable to work, which can happen for any number of reasons, many of which have nothing to do with the company.

telling struggling companies that they need to keep savings around so they can pay a bunch of employees when the company already knows that nothing will come of that work is silly.

you can keep money in the left pocket or the right pocket, it's the same amount of money. But saying "keep double money in both pockets" makes no sense, it's inefficient. money is not easy to come by. because companies operate at a larger scale, over many employees, it seems like they have money all over the place, but most company are capital constrained all the time. (companies that are not capital constrained often pursue foolish ideas, too much expansion, etc.)

it's just a question of what the social contract is, and making the social contract be "employees can be as irresponsible as they want, somebody else will take care of it" sets a bad standard. Employers would rather hire responsible employees, and being responsible to yourself and your family is step one; and without regard to what employers want, it will make you a better person.

Most employees are capital constrained at all times. The median American has $8000 in savings, and 30% have <$500.

I rarely resort to this sort of comment online, but I feel it is warranted in this case: fuck you.

if your goal is healthy companies that can hire employees and give the employees what employees want (jobs, if you got lost) then don't saddle companies with extra expenses that are not productive. giving employees a bonus for non productive activity on top of the company's failure is just stupid.

if immigrants with menial jobs can save money and even send money back home to their families, so can higher status employees.
