james73+FollowThe Dark Side of Part-Time WorkEver thought part-time jobs were the answer to work-life balance? Turns out, they’re more like a trap. Big companies are cutting costs by giving people just enough hours to keep them desperate, but not enough to qualify for benefits or stable pay. Schedules change week to week, making it impossible to plan your life, get a loan, or even keep your benefits. It’s not about flexibility—it’s about control. Would you trade stability for a few unpredictable shifts? #WorkLife #LaborRights #PartTimeProblems #JustInTimeScheduling #JobCareer179Share
