And on the "well, the employee just needs to know when to move on" argument??.we make it way harder than it should be.
We really, really need to decouple healthcare & insurance from employment. That unhappy employee may not be able to switch to a better-fit job because it is literally detrimental to they or their family's health.
Anyone who has a family member with a chronic condition knows how much of a nightmare it is to switch insurance providers, and how much work it takes to keep getting care during the transition.
Even when I was single and never had any health concerns, it was and is a gigantic pain, and is entirely unnecessary.
The net economic benefit from employees being able to switch jobs without upending life-sustaining care would be massive, as unhappy employees would leave more readily, and employers could onboard more quickly as well as let folks go more easily when it's clear that they are not a good fit.
It would also allow for folks to start their own small?ÿ businesses and independent practices far more easily, which is a force multiplier for innovation in any industry.
Allowing folks to self-sort to find the work they want to do has nothing but positive benefits for both employee and employer.

??except for the firms unwilling to create a high-quality workplace for their employees. And if we're really serious about supporting a "free market" economy for for-profit enterprises, they need to die out anyways.

Apologies for the THRAC, rant over. Going to chill out and finish my coffee now...
