They want all of us living paycheck to paycheck.

If you have to live paycheck to paycheck you HAVE to show up for their crappy job paying a crappy wage what choice do you have?
If you actually had some money in the bank you might take some time off or have time to think and get another job.
This is why employers hate gaps in resumes
If you have a gap it means that you didn’t have to work that particular period of time, which means you might want some time off at this job.

So they will hire a person with no gaps because they know that person lives paycheck to paycheck.

- What’s worse too, that confirms what you’ve said, is that THAT is why employers often do not want you to have more than one job. Even if you can handle 3-4 jobs. It’s not to make sure you are dedicated to that first job. It’s to make sure you are fully reliant on ONLY that first job so that they can play a part and parcel in defining the class distinctions, social strata, and power levels that separate the controlled from the controllers.
- Paycheck to paycheck means you are trapped in whatever your crappy situation is, and you’re almost completely at the mercy of whatever capitalism decides to do next. It makes people afraid to voice their concerns or opposition to blatantly unfair business practices when it comes to employees.
I can’t tell you how many times I heard the most brainwashed, beaten down people at a former workplace chirp about “job security” when more work or unreasonable expectations were dumped on them without a pay raise or even basic respect. - Yup, then they want to work you death by giving you no time for vacation and health. Then when you do die, they toss out your things and hire some new naive sap for the same job for less money, probably doing more work.
