I dont think we agree on enough fundamental facts about the world to have a productive conversation. It seems like you are in denial about the possibility that some workers can be detrimental to bottom line profit and efficiency.

By the way, the charity comment wasnt about volunteers. Companies are not run as a non-profit charity with workers as the beneficiaries.

Yes we are. You're in denial that most of these layoffs are performance based, and not because of factors beyond their control.

If you're cynical about your peers to think that the default of them in the field is unprofitable and unproductive, we have nothing to say to each other. Learn some empathy.
