      Obamacare requires employers to pay for healthcare if you work more than 25 hours (of course, some businesses like McDonald’s have an exemption, anyway). Anon is claiming his employer is intentionally cutting hours to avoid healthcare costs. I have no idea whether it’s actually very common or not.

      It’s indirectly “obamacare.” If an employer has someone work more then 30hours/week they have to provide them with insurance, in theory obamacare caused employee insurance prices to rise, so they cut hours to employees in response. Probably not a correlation. In any case big employers like walmart/mcdonalds will cut hours to save on benefits.
