A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

If they lay off employees, they have to pay severance and/or unemployment. If the employees quit due to unreasonable mandates, they can be fired with "cause".

They've been mass laying off people regardless. May as well give people the chance to leave on good terms.

If they can keep a bit of money for themselves by not doing this, they will not do this. For the people who run corporations the emphasis in "human resources" is on resources. You are to be mined for value until it is no longer profitable to use you.
