<p>Ouch. Imagine being let go just a few weeks from vesting. Doesn't seem fair to let someone work for months and months in anticipation of their big prize and then yank it away at the last minute.</p>

<p>You want the government to force employers to provide a social safety net rather than the government providing it directly?<p>The problem isn't that people can be fired, it's that their food, housing, and medical care are all dependent on or provided through their employer.</p>

<p>Giving any kind of notice about layoffs while expecting employees to continue working is just bad for everyone.<p>The employees stress out about whether they're going to be impacted. Nobody gets much work done as they update their resumes and prepare for the worst. The best people start looking for other opportunities and find them. If specific employees are told they're going to be laid off, some seek revenge.<p>Much better to immediately notify those impacted, revoke their access, give them generous severance instead of expecting them to work, and let everyone else know they're safe.</p>

<p>Maybe they could be kept on the payroll without access to actually work.<p>But the real problem is any law that would deport someone 30 days after they were laid off, even if they had been working for years. That should be 6 months minimum.</p>

<p>Just learn to program if you are interested in it. Tech skills in general are a good investment right now. And if AI does get good enough to replace your programming job, it will soon replace all other jobs too.</p>

<p>Scary. You can't just floor it and get out of there when someone threatens you. Same would apply for other imminent dangers like floods or fires. When the car decides to stop, there's nothing you can do except wait for it to change its mind or run away on foot.<p>On the other hand, we can hope that self-driving cars make streets safer for pedestrians and protesters by obeying speed limits, always watching the road, and never driving aggressively/threateningly even when antagonized.</p>
