Layoffs are negotiated separately, and in normal countries (with collective bargaining and healthcare) layoffs, while impactful, won't cripple your life

You lose your income in both cases, and I said I'd support severance/notice period for firings. I don't see how the two are materially different.


Severance is one of the many things unions negotiate.

Yet you keep insisting that somehow at-will employment with immediate termination is somehow good.

I'm not sure how you got that impression. My original comment:

>Getting fired is disruptive to someone's finances that some notice/severance would be justified,


Some of us are capable of maintaining the context of conversation.
