      Which makes it work really well for stealth layoffs. If you don’t have a manager willing to bend the rules for you, you either have to show up or the company has a reason for firing you.

      And if you do have a manager willing to bend the rules for you, they now have the ability to recind that offer if performance drops.

      Capriciously applied rules is a terrible system. We hold up ideals like “rule of law” and “democracy” but as soon as capital is involved it’s right back to “I am the law” and tyranny.
