It's just a way to do layoffs while trying to fight off the unemployment claims.

But it loses the best people keeping the worst. Dead Sea.

Management doesn't care as long as line go up. Corporate America is constantly chasing short-term gains and damn the future.

Eh.. why would Dell need the best people? They're a mediocre company. Mediocre staff are sufficient.

Best people = your entire product

This should really be more strongly regulated, these constructive dismissal shenanigans are just assinine.

Nah, let's stick with zero employee protections, and prioritize ever increasing corporate profits at any cost. That's the best path forward for a prosperous society.
