> It is like mandating a minimum number of days people must not work, or that they have to ingest poison on
Sounds like you think that’s a bad thing (aka punishment).
By the way, the former is called “holidays” and is regulated by law in the majority of the world, the US is the odd one out. Even China has a 11-day minimum vacation policy.
Ah, fair enough. If you read the entire paragraph you will note that that was as out of stupidity and ignorance of the damages, not as a punishment. Nobody is trying to punish companies. I mean, case in point. Do you think holidays are an attempt to punish people? Obviously not.
And nobody forces people to take holidays. There are people who work two jobs, work on weekends, work over Christmas and founders that work 30 day months. All legal.
