I have no sympathy for the displaced worker. I see it a social Darwinism. The survival of the fittest and adaptable.
The loss of a high paid job here. is the gain of the purchaser of that product or that service.

The economy does not exists to provide jobs. But to provide goods and services. The employee is a cots of doing business. (Man I am no material for a director of HR dept., I can tell you!)

We, hands, Brains, attitudes and legs plus our knowledge are just a package that has to be added to a given economic operation.

We don't join to be pampered. We join to provide an output. If that output is no longer needed we have no reason to be there.

It falls on the worker himself to see what is he there for and react to events to protect his value. But what we see are companies subject to market realities employing workers who do not want to be subject to those realities. See US automakers to know what I am talking about.

Companies instead of throwing the cold water on employees, do the opposite. They attempt shelter them! To isolate them from their problems This is why HR depts are always talking nicely and do not talk straight until it s time to receive the boot in the backside. I am a savage capitalist.
