[quote=deadzone][quote=Coronita][quote=deadzone][quote=Coronita][quote=scaredyclassic]If a remote employee in an RV gets in a wreck while on the clock, is the company liable for those damages?[/quote]
No because, technically i dont know about it officially and dont officially recognize it. its like giving someone under the table comp time. i make them fill out the timecard with a PTO request and they take the comp day off. if something happens to them , I approve and process the pto request, and then its on them… if nothing happens, when they get back, i reject and delete the pto request so it doesnt count against their balance. Same deal, i habe them fill out s month worth of PTO at a time, and if nothing happens i reject it at the end of the month. and open a new one for the next month. while the pto request is pending, no one else. sees it except me. And if anyone asks, ill just say hes planning to take an extended pto, but we are working out the details….
This isnt rocket science.[/quote]
Good luck explaining that to the lawyers[/quote]
why would this be any different from you driving a car on a lunch break and get into an at fault accident becaise you were dumb enough to check your email while driving? Is your employer legally liable?
I think you are just pissed that the world is changing , and others are able to take advantage of the new opportunities that for whatever reasons either you arent available to you or for some reason you are hell bent on sticking with whst you are currently doing and cant get over the fact theres better ways to doing things than just to camp out on the same thing unappreciated getting that COLA adjustment each year and then complaining about it not keeping up with rising cost of everything.
the bigger threat to remote workers is employers are no longer suck with locale mediocre talent and paying them higher socal wages to do the work. so that. money goes a lot further in ehat you can get.[/quote]
All of this talk of entitled workers attitudes is so reminiscent of the .com bubble. Late 90s engineers had their pick of jobs, all chasing the next startup. And it didn’t matter how good they were since VC money was flowing like the Niagara Falls. The only difference now is the money is slowing even more thanks to the Fed. So sure the world is changing at least temporarily since there is so much easy money companies don’t have to worry about being productive. But at some point, when the music stops, these lazy remote working, entitled workers are going to be in for a rude awakening.

You know what that rude awakening actually looked like? They took their dot com money and bought a nice home for $400-500K and its now worth almost 5 times that. I know a whole bunch of people like that
The idea that the world is fair and there is some kind of rude awakening written in stone is something people who are afraid to take chances use to justify their failures
