| Their employer isn't you, it's themselves. You have hired them in their sole proprietorship capacity. > Of course they can have opinions or refuse to do things in certain ways. But they can't force you to have a pink wall color, or other things. At most, perhaps if the see something dangerous or illegal in your kitchen, they may have a duty to do something about it. You're not their employer, you're contracting their employer. > Harassment: again, quit your job, apart from that, general laws about harassment should apply, independent from you being an employee or not. No thanks, that's an objectively worse world. > Why do you get people to have the duty to take care of you, but I don't? Who should have the duty to take care of me? Because that's what running a business is. Since you're self employed you have that responsibility to look after yourself. > Now what is your duty towards me? Is it now your duty to see that I earn a living wage and have job security forever? All just because you simply wanted a new wall color in your kitchen? Nope, that's their employers duty. |
