I completely disagree with your final statement. Compassion, empathy, etc. are the domains of ANY human activities and organizations.
I'm not advocating for the way things were, but businesses must treat people like people and not factory parts.

Such layoffs did not happen in the US since 2008-09. The young generation is unused to them, and so the shock and anger. But just the fact that industry-wide layoffs like that are so rare can show you that businesses actually try to avoid them. Not necessarily because they have a heart of gold, but there's a certain amount of friction in reducing your workforce.
