If your company has PTO hours and you leave your job in Texas they don’t require you get paid out those hours so they are just lost. My coworker learned that.
Absolutely need better worker protections across the board and Non-competes getting tossed is huge.
They said “choosing,” which is the key word in their statement. Some people don’t have a choice like you said, but that’s really just a matter of the push/pull forces of migration at this point.
Yea, I honestly don’t know what low income folks and kids can do - it’s such a regressive place but if you’re stuck there you just have to bear it and hope for change.
The original comment I was responding to was talking about PTO reclamation which is, sadly, a pretty white collar concern.

Honestly, if you’re choosing to live in Texas at this point you should expect to have very few personal rights.
… do you just expect everybody who lives there to pack up and leave? Even though their entire lives might be there and moving costs a ton?

Yeah that’s fair. I don’t quite know why I read that the way I did, but I read the “choosing” as “lives there and isn’t actively attempting to move”.
