Tying benefits to employers is idiotic. Even if you want to tie benefits to work requirements, this system fucks the millions of people with multiple part-time jobs.

Yup. I worked at Target circa 2010 and it was the same. I was scheduled 38 hours a week, and you would get written up if you were late clocking out.

I remember when I was working at McDondald's and they never worked me above 32 hours typically. Back then it was 40 as the cutoff. That they're allowed to scuzz their way around the law through this means we'll never get equity with our system. They must be punished for such practices.
