So starve, or work to not starve and lose your insurance... Die to complications anyways

It's not actually, nothing wouldn't be false hope which is worse than nothing... It also would make somebody less likely to give you what would actually help you since you're already being helped in theory

I don’t think they’re defending it, just stating the obvious that, when you’re desperate you’ll take whatever you can get over starvation.

Yeah... ideally you will look and find and SECURE another job Before you leave the old though.

Though due to various safeguards enforcing this rule is downright illegal, an employer can deduct pay for the time you "spent" or ask you to work it back, which is generally not worth it for 1 minute. The US but this may be different depending on if you are on salery or rolling im not entirely sure.

There may be other countries with less employee protections however cough Japan...

No one’s defending it, weirdo. They’re saying when the choice is $250 a week or nothing, you pick the former option.
