What is At-Will Work?
Recently came across this video. YouTuber "Joshua Fluke" details the insanity of a situation in Wisconsin. From what information can be gathered in the YouTube video and a quick Google search, about seven employees left one company (ThedaCare) and went to work for another (Ascension). The industry was healthcare. The positions were described as "technicians and nurses." Also, here is a Steve Lehto video on same.
There is a bunch of insanity in this unfolding story, so let's break it down.
A new player came to town, hired one professional at what was apparently a significantly higher wage. That professional informed friends at work, who, in turn, also applied for positions and were hired. This is where the good part ends.
The former employer - ThedaCare - did not make counter-offers. They decided to sue the employees and the new company. A temporary injunction was ordered that prevented the employees from starting their new jobs. Cue eye roll here on insanity. Where in the concept of "at-will" work does this even exist???
Eventually, the judge saw some reason and removed the temporary injunction. That may be the only rational thing this judge has ever done - IDK.
SUMMARY
Thumbs down to judge McGinnis. This author will probably get 6 months in jail for that.
Thumbs WAY down for ThedaCare.
Thumbs up for Joshua Fluke. Check out his channel, it is definitely recommended.
