Not who, how.

I don't understand this either. It's a professional environment and all you're doing is a business transaction: you offer them services, they pay you.

My phone provider doesn't have an emotional breakdown when I fire them, why should I?

People should never take anything corporations do personally. This is why all the messaging about "we're a family" is BS..

The biggest issue is the lack of safety net and healthcare for people when they are let go.. severance kind of take care of this but it varies greatly.

But hey.. perhaps working in this industry for decades has made me too cynical.
