10-289?????

Voluntarily force !
Anyway- I recall that in AS this was part of Directive 10-289.
In life, an employer who cannot fire will not hire.

This is an effect seen here when tradesmen just will not employ another person whatever the size of their order book and prices they can charge. Bigger businesses cut full time jobs and use contractors, often these are quite big businesses who can afford the lawyers and consultants for documenting procedures to follow when trying to get a non-performer out.
Yes, more jobs, but higher costs for no more output. Eventually, fewer jobs. Think it thru .

Who is "they"? What is voluntarily forcing? I would think most forcing is voluntary, unless person A holds a gun to person B and orders B to use his gun to use force on person C.

As you are new to the Gulch, I'm not familiar with your posting style.
I'm having trouble discerning who your facetious comment is aimed at.
