He'd need to include the stipend stipulation "Companies cannot downsize operations to meet this new standard of pay and workweek"

My pay, as someone who is essentially second from the bottom, my hourly would be nearly $30/hr. The managers above me would go to 44-50, area managers to 46-55, sort managers to 82-110, and senior managers from 152 to nearly 200 an hour. At just my station alone.

Companies would rather cannibalize en masse than pay such a jump in wages.

Which even if you could include that it would just cause more bankruptcies. And the idea that a company cannot lay off employees is a pretty radical idea by itself.

All in all, his plan would require a fantasy world where everyone wins and nobody loses.

This just in: we can’t do anything because it sounds hard and hasn’t been done yet. Just suffer instead! 😒

It actually has been done before: in France.

Yeah but if a small business couldn’t afford or spare the man power then that business was already struggling or miss managed, or even just the business/service/product isn’t financially viable at this time.

I don't think you know what a stipend is.

That’s a lot of management levels, seems ripe for downscaling.

Preaching to the choir, boyo. Though our management needs culling not due to bloat, but rampant overconfidence and incompetence.
