Irresponsible for who? Corporations are in the business of their own interests. Employees are a resource to furthering a businesses goals. They aren’t a charity that owes individuals anything. If you think that you’re being naive about what we call at-will employment.
- DangitBobby 4y agoYou have decided they don't have a responsibility to their employees, but that doesn't make it true.
- notyourwork 4y agoNo, I personally did not decide this. Corporations decide this for themselves. Whether I agree or not has nothing to do with the reality of the current situation.
- DangitBobby 4y agoAgain, declaring things to be reality does not make them so.
- ljm 4y agoAt-will employment being something specific to the US and not the world that exists outside of it...we don't all share the same view on employment (and employment rights for that matter) that the US does.

Personally, I find layoffs irresponsible at a corporate level. When they happen they disrupt team relationships, gut out tribal knowledge, break trust, and create friction that trades short term savings for long term cost. The human cost for unemployment is also hard to ignore. For every 1% increase in unemployment there is a 1-1.6% increase in suicides. I say that as someone who is working at a company that made headlines for layoffs.
