I hate that I'm saying this, but it might actually be useful to have companies do this and have housing as part of a compensation package to exert some downward pressure on rent.

Realistically I know it will be terrible but I can see how it could be beneficial in our current framework/situation

Show up late to work more than 2 times = eviction. It is terrible, indeed.

"Oh you're calling out because you're sick? We'll send someone up to make sure. It's in the contract you signed for the apartment."

That's probably depressingly accurate. There is a Costco pharmacy, they'll probably ask you to get a note from them or send them up to your room.

I can easily see a world where the pharmacist regularly denies all sick claims to avoid getting fired and evicted themselves.

This is exactly why it doesn’t matter how good the CEO of Costco is

“The purpose of a system is what it does”

You don’t have to dig very deep to realize all we can really do at this point is try to make hell seem more comfortable
