When they don't need to work to survive, which is never in our system.

They can presumably get another job somewhere else. I don't think harm is done until they are unfairly deprived
Nah, getting another job is painful. Though change can be good. To account: It costs people to be laid off .. from psychological through to cash.

'Unfair' is relative to the relationship between the employee and employer, which is one Individual, and one Corporation. Sure there is a contract and labor protection laws. However all of us are stupid in some way (s). So disruption can have unforseen negative consequences.

I am glad you have never had to deal with a job search after being fired so someone can make the quarterly numbers that result in getting a bonus that is more than you will earn in a life time, but the rest of us recognize it as an unfair deprivation from the outset.
