> In what way is losing income from quitting different in at-will vs the article?
This question isn’t relevant to the claim that I am responding to.
> Losing the income is a consequence, but it's the same consequence in both cases and so is not part of the conversation
You’re right that having no income is the same as having no income, and the manner in which it was lost does not matter.
But the state of “having no income” does indeed matter. That statement is relevant to this conversation due to gp’s claim that losing income and health insurance are not “practical repercussions” of losing employment. That’s a naïveté that a stable society cannot abide.
