    While I agree with everything you’ve said, it’s also fair to acknowledge that losing one’s job unexpectedly is a disruptive life change that not everyone is adequately prepared for financially or emotionally and we can empathize with them.

    Edit, seriously what have I said here that’s downvote worthy?

      You’re asking people to spare pity for a corporation abusing people.

      Sure, it’s not necessarily the fault of employees.

      But many of us have only limited pity to spare, and we’re saving it for the more direct victims. Not the employees.

      Besides; many of them would probably do well to get away from there.
