I am gonna rant here, hear me out if you'd like. I am left leaning and have been all my life. But look at what's happening at Oracle employees over last three years - all of that made me not vote for the left including HRC. Anyhow, we are in a rigged game where a few executives get all benefits of our work and we get only small pieces while they keep pretty much all. Then, the rest is given to the lobbyists and lawyers and politicians, and the worker gets a layoff.
Look at Oracle today, it's still greatly profitable but they chose to cut even more people, increase executive bonuses and payouts and even more will be channeled to Washington to lobby for more h1b visas, lax oversight, etc.
That's what making me really angry about all of this - I do get that companies have to layoff people, even sometimes they have to cut pay, but a stress event would have to be required for this, not just a plain need to bump up executive bonuses.
That's all I had to say. Good luck to all of us.
