Those Layoff Videos - Support for Brittany Pietsch Could Mutate to "Better Not Do That"

Head of Google Sudar Pichai declared business to be business. And business, according to Pichai, has no place for employee protesting inside the corporation. 

This harsh attitude could catch fire with employers on other business issues. 

At the top of the list are what are considered ham-handed teminations processes - at least by employees. Many know that early adopter of the video-them Brittany Pietsch landed on her feet. Some predicted she was unemployable but she did get another job in marketing. In addition, she's an influencer. 

But if employers crack down on just the legal privacy matters involved, as Bloomberg Law explores, the support for this kind of strategy could freeze. There is a lot of fear about employment insecurity, especially among white-collars. There really is a white-collar recession. Only one-third of job ads are open for The Professional Class..

A boomer, I experienced how quickly a movement can dry up. The counterculture was hot. Then it was not. The severe recession of the mid-1970s finished it off..

A sign of changing attitudes by employers is that they are reviewing how to respond to Pietsch type of behavior. No longer is the matter untouchable. But they have to recognize that employees still retain power. Unionization is getting power back. Although it's being legally challenged the end, with some exceptions. of non-compete clauses, is certainly empowering lots of working people.

It is provocative to reflect on how much complexity did the first law frrm in the US to launch a specialzed ESG practce anticipate. That was Paul, Weiss. The term "ESG" is out-of-date but there is more and more a pile-on of issues.
