It's weird that several large tech companies all need to fire around 10,000 people at the same time. It's almost like the number is completely arbitrary and they're all soullessly choosing profit over their people because they can.

How is choosing the profit of an average american 401k holder over the salary of $500k engineer “soulless”?

People tend to forget that through all the layers of different companies and funds, the average person who owns Facebook shares is less well off than an average Facebook employee.

It’s almost like the economic system which all these companies are based in demands profit over improving the lives of people…

Weird.
