While I support his new law, more rules do act as a barrier to entry / competition for new / smaller businesses. Larger companies can more easily adhere to increasingly complex employment rules than smaller ones.

The new law protects people from being bothered by micromanagers during off hours, but reduced market competition keeps people stuck with a shitty boss, and reduces their chances to get a raise.

Yep. Rules and enforcement create compliance costs.

So do contracts.

We aren’t removing contracts though.

If we are discussing market forces, an abundance of roles doesn’t equal an abundance of good managers.

It does increases search costs for workers.
