free rider

A quick definition of free rider:

A free rider is someone who benefits from something without contributing anything in return. This can happen in many different situations, like when people don't pay union dues but still get the benefits of being in a union. It can also happen when a small part of a bigger deal gets passed because it's attached to something more popular.

A more thorough explanation:

Free rider is a term used to describe people or entities that benefit from the actions of others without contributing anything in return. This concept is often seen in law and politics.

  • In labor law, non-union employees who do not pay union dues or agency shop fees but still receive benefits earned by the union are considered free riders.
  • Another example is when a provision is added to a contract or piece of legislation that would not receive support on its own, but is included as a "rider" to a larger deal.

These examples illustrate how free riders benefit from the actions of others without contributing anything in return. In the case of non-union employees, they receive the benefits of union negotiations and protections without paying for them. In the case of a rider, it is added to a larger deal to gain support, even though it may not have enough support on its own.

I wish that wearing a mask when sick stuck around as an okay thing like it is in the rest of the world, not all of us have enough sick days to be ditching work.

One manager came in sick wearing a mask, got roasted and stopped wearing it that day. The entire office has been cycling sickness for two weeks now. It may not be super effective but it may help in slowing the spread during meetings when we have to be so close
