^^^ If that's the case, that's probably the best example of laying off I would accept. If I had to choose between a high earner who already has savings, property, investments, etc over a low income laborer who has little if anything to supplement a lost job, I would fire the former.
Edit: but this is ultimately a catch-22. I heard many of those workers were long tenured. Gave their heart and soul to the company and rose up through the ranks. Did it fairly, by merit, followed the American dream. Yet they still can use their job. It sucks. But, hey, it’s better than just keeping everyone employed but taking a hit with profits having to be taken from the earnings of executives and shareholders. You would rather objectively ruin someone’s life taking away what is often their main source of income just so you can satisfy individuals who don’t need to work for a living. Damn, business is cutthroat
Greed is just as bad as envy. In fact, they’re two sides of the same coin.
