I think that if someone works enough hours to be full-time (although, Google says 30 hrs/wk, which is less than full-time) the ACA requires the employer to provide some kind of health insurance option or assistance to the employee. So the post is saying employers have multiple part time employees instead of full time employees so they don’t have to pay for health insurance. I.e., the employer is shitty and unethical, or “smart” as it’s considered in Trump’s America.

Pacattack57@lemmy.world 12 hours agoThe line that makes no sense is the 25 hours because Obamacare. What does Obamacare have to do with anything? He doesn’t qualify for insurance if he works too many hours?

He’s blaming obamna for a thing which has been the case forever: companies like to make you part time to avoid paying benefits

It became extremely calm and after Obamacare passed that a lot of rural America stopped allowing people to work more than 25 hours a week so they don’t qualify for health insurance and it saves the employer quite a lot of money.
Basically they just double up the hires to fill all shifts as stupid as it is. It does save a lot of money
