2025-03-04 03:50:49 +0000 UTCThey don't, especially for small businesses. But this thread is about the accident insurance that the business itself needs to carry, since otherwise it would be directly on the hook for anything that happened... which here could be a lot.
Yonatan Zunger
2025-03-04 03:03:36 +0000 UTCQuestion as a non-US person. Do companies have to provide health insurance for people? Given how little Union Robotics makes I just assumed that Faye was uninsured. It does bring up the important question to whether Faye fixes Bubs if anything goes wrong with her chassis.
David Durant
2025-03-04 02:01:22 +0000 UTCNo one specified "decent".
Michael Chui

Hugh Eckert

Sean Kinlin
2025-03-04 00:44:27 +0000 UTCSometimes it's just about feeling heard and respected. I'm willing to bet if Anh answered anything other than "Yes" Faye would have kicked her to the curb so fast! But regardless of anything else, she's not the type to turn down a free intern (as long as they knows who's boss).
Dalmeir
2025-03-04 00:42:29 +0000 UTCI'm not sure Anh is floofy enough to make a decent mop. That won't stop Faye from trying though.

Bagge
2025-03-03 18:38:43 +0000 UTCI dunno. She may develop a certain zen acceptance of grunt work. (It'll probably be a new experience for her, after all. (As in, the tale of the woman who was offered the choice of death or dishonour, and chose death on the grounds it'd be a new experience.) Or she may just grit her teeth and bull through long enough for her previously unsuspected (by Faye) skills to manifest themselves. As to why Faye is doing this - look, an unpaid pair of hands to do things like mop up has to be very hard to refuse. And she's just established that she can get shot of Anh any time she proves actively deleterious to the business.
Philip Masters
2025-03-03 17:32:17 +0000 UTCEvery mop is a battle mop, if you're desperate enough.
Raymond Dannelly
2025-03-03 16:43:04 +0000 UTCThere are ways to make Faye enjoy to mop the floor. One 3-step example: 1. Take the Anh. 2. Turn them up-side-down. 3. Mop until dawn.

Kith penDragon
2025-03-03 09:56:04 +0000 UTCFaye might want to rethink this. If Anh isn't being paid, she's not an employee, so she isn't covered by their insurance.
Dean Reilly
2025-03-03 09:09:16 +0000 UTCRegret telling Anh to mop? I'm being flippant, but Faye hasn't actually committed to anything. She hasn't hired Anh; she just told her to mop.

enchantedsleeper
2025-03-03 08:42:43 +0000 UTCFaye's secret is they haven't got one, so Anh has to go to the store and buy them a new mop.

2025-03-03 07:14:22 +0000 UTCI do (and did) various things for dramatic societies and some charities/good causes - free. Every so often, someone would expect me to do the same things for them privately and get quite upset if I wouldn't, so I started quoting rather large fees. That way, I wasn't refusing to help them, they were too mean to pay for it.
Charles Hirst
2025-03-03 07:03:24 +0000 UTCAlso, I’m glad to see Faye has that in her. I realize I’ve read this comic for a good part of my life when I thought “wow, yes, this used to be you” and I am so glad it’s not anymore
Mr. Ifrit
2025-03-03 06:44:46 +0000 UTCOh no, Faye, what is you doing? I was so happy in panel 2 and 3 when it looked like she was sticking to her guns but no. I guess we’re doing this.

Michael Steamweed
2025-03-03 03:17:20 +0000 UTCI pulled a similar tactic with a (very) pushy house flipper who walked door-to-door in my neighborhood and wanted to buy my house. After a month of his crap, I told him, okay, I was willing to sell: five hundred thou (note: said house was not worth that). And every single day I saw him again, the price would go up another hundred thou. He finally left me alone.

William Cole
2025-03-03 03:15:01 +0000 UTCReminds me of when I used to work at a bike shop back in the late 90's. This guy would come in every day and demand that I sell him my car, which was not for sale at any price. As time went on he became more and more adamant that I sell it, but he also wanted it for as cheap as he could get it, so he'd say things like; "Man, you should sell me that dirty old beater. What do you want for it?" "It's not for sale." "Seriously, what do you want for it?" I began to dread him coming in, but we sold him a lot of stupid shit for more than it was worth, so we wanted to keep him as a customer. So one day he starts in with his shit I told him I'd sell in for ten. "Ten THOUSAND? For that old thing?" "No. Ten MILLION. Cash." That bought me a few days of not having to deal with him.
