I hate feeling like an expendable human resource. When I was laid off it was completely without advanced notice, they're never considerate enough to notify you two weeks in advance (like we are supposed to do).

It's not like the executive types are known for their empathy. I've seen the Chairman of the Board throw full on temper tantrums (and throwing stuff) at his subordinates. They have zero qualms laying us off if it means it increases this quarter's bottom line.

I live in a country where the company or you need to notify the other 2-6 months in advance. You can only quiet earlier if it is mutual.

I recommend joining a Union so you can also have the safety benefits that we do.

I live in a country (the US) where secondary and general strikes are illegal, so unions don’t have as much power.
