Anecdotally, I’ve been hearing from someone who works there that they’ve been doing some blatently illegal things with regards to RTO enforcement and reasons for dismissal in general, including threatening employees who take time off for not “badgeing in” while on vacation. I’m hoping we see some huge fines in the near future on them, as employees raise complaints and even sue them for their practices.

Thays the best case scenario. I’m just hoping that our bought-and-paid-for SCOTUS doesn’t decide to rule in favor of the companies on a party line vote.
That would effectively transition companies in the US to be above the law with regards to workers rights. Unions would stop being a thing when companies can legally just fire everyone who tries. Pay discrepancies would always fall in favor of the payer. Forget about time off or Healthcare.
A ruling like that might set us back a century on worker’s rights, and I’m genuinely afraid that our courts are capable of it.

Knowing the current court, I imagine they’d be inclined to agree if the arsonists paid them enough.
He was just letting him use the RV! He paid it back!
