Topic	Better.com CEO lays off 900 people in a zoom call
ChaosTonyV4 12/10/21 2:03:07 AM #9:	Also on topic: As a (mostly) office worker, I know for a fact that myself and others like me often have days of hours of wasted labor, but the requirements of a 40 hour week cause that. Sure, maybe you could cut a handful of people here or there, but that means theres going to be periods of the week where the remaining people are genuinely overworked and some of that work wont get done or will get done poorly. So whats the solution? Temp or part time help? You dont get the kind of skilled labor employers demand for part time, and temp jobs are by their nature temporarywhile the work isnt! At a certain point, if the company is turning a profit and growing, you just have to be ok with that and accept some wasted wages. --- Phantom Dust.
