> if at-will employment were legal I'd have to save and save and save money for anything because I could not be certain to still have a job tomorrow

You're not certain to have a job next year (your company, for example, could go out of work; you could be grievously injured; war could sweep through your country). You ought to be saving, saving, saving anyway; building your own savings is the only way to have true security.

Yes, but what with employers demanding all kinds of loyalty it would be nice if that was a two-way street.

For injuries you can be insured, if your company goes out of business there is supposed to be a social contract that takes care of that and if there is a war then everybody has problems, not just you.

Savings are not a true security either, after all, if war breaks out who is to say your savings will be worth anything.

That's why I like The Alliance framework [1]. It's one of the main reasons why I joined Bunny Inc. earlier this year.

Thank you! I sent the recommendation to a friend of mine who likely will get a lot more mileage out of it than I will (no employees atm).
