If only we could, like, not be fired at any time for no reason. There's no reason for any of it, because any cost savings to a company like Google are infinitesimal. They just do it because shitty consultants tell them that's the road to higher profit margin increases.

I find it hilarious how techies always thought that they were too good for unions.
