Be veeery interested in seeing how many of these suspensions were reversed once logic was applied to their situations.

Start fucking penalising for invalid suspensions and watch the numbers plummet

In this case, it's the private "job agencies" that have the power to suspend (and most of them automate it). That's the main issue, suspensions happening automatically without any human oversight and by private companies that have little accountability.

@Taleya @vividspecter Absolutely! Perhaps we could start at $10,000 per 'incorrect' suspension?

[–] MarleyandMe@mastodon.social 2 points 2 years ago

@Taleya @vividspecter (2) $$ raised to go directly 2 benefit those wrongly suspended

It's part of their KPIs to suspend payments.

And it's part of my KPI to handle issues. if I handle them badly and fuck it up, I get into trouble. Apply the same logic

Look I'd love to see it but this industry doesn't work like other industries. It's about punishing and bullying the poor for daring to exercise their human right to welfare. In this case, being a compassionate, conscientious and professional worker will likely result in you not being good at this job.
