> It can be. But it can also be simple. You could work Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays for one boss and Saturdays for another.
Sure, but that assumes you have the power to dictate your schedule. That right there depends on some respect from employers to employees.
Clearly I'm biased as I have seen disgusting things in retail. In the examples I've seen, they want you 7 days a week, regardless if they will actually pay you on those days.
This is made worse by the job market that gives employers quite a bit of bargaining power. Why take the employee who only wants to work Mon/Wed/Fri, when there's someone else willing to take whatever they can get?
For what it's worth, I'm actually agreeing. I'm saying we've been too hung up on hourly wages and not focused enough on employers externalizing costs (business risks, logistics risks, career viability risks) on employees. Some simple things, like requiring a retainer or salary for mandatory schedule availability, have simple legislative solutions.
