Apparently their jobs had become obsolete. Why exactly should their employment continue? Framing it as "delivering more money to shareholders" is so misguided.

Apparently their jobs had become obsolete. Why exactly should their employment continue? Framing it as "delivering more money to shareholders" is so misguided. Their salaries would be paid by the public anyway, factored into the price of the company's product. Isn't it also humiliating to be paid for useless work? I think it can be better for the "victim" to be fired, too, so that they can find a more useful occupation. How do people actually feel avout paying people for doing useless work? I personally find it quite enraging at times. Where in the article is the "taking it up with the government" part? Shouldn't government take part of the blame?
