> They have zero power over individuals.

What’s your net worth? How much do you own at moment? How much have you inherited?

> They cannot tell you were to live.

Yes, they can. If you don’t have money to pay for mortgage, you have to leave.

> They cannot shoot your dog.

No, but landlord can say “no dogs”, which will reduce your pool of rental options.

> They cannot evict you.

The banks and government will, right.

> They cannot fine you

So you going from $100k+ salary to, potentially, welfare isn’t a problem at all?

> They cannot tell you what to do after hours.

Of course not, they can just gaslight you under threat of pip to be on-call for extra hours.

> Your rights are completely intact.

Companies have responsibility to society beyond making money to shareholders and upholding legal laws.

> "at will" has a legal meaning, meaning they can work or quit or change jobs at any time. No law or company rule can prevent that.

No wonder “the American Dream” is dead.
