One Dumb Argument

You may have read about the lawsuit against Amazon, demanding workers be paid for the time they have to stand in line for post-work security screenings. Sometimes lawyers are really dumb. Like here.

Yeah, this is really going to happen:

“The allegations here are not that this process takes 25 minutes,” he said. “It can take up to 25 minutes if you’re in the very back of the line. And I think one of the many reasons not to adopt their rule is you don’t want to create an incentive for every employee to try to get to the back of the line, which is hardly going to speed things up.”

Because, at the end of a long day in a warehouse, some guy is going to want to hang around rather than get the hell out of work and go home. I mean that’s really dumb.
