They establish the framework, which is now that an employee is at total risk all the time. A bone to be thrown to an anxious worker is a door and something that appears to be office — an appearance of fortification against the forces of the marketplace. All of which amounts to a cheap replacement for adequate benefits and some sort of commitment to the employee.
