What fun! Remember "You're fired"?  They seem to enjoy causing anxiety and financial pain to the rest of us little people.  Makes them feel good.

They have no idea what is the job function of these workers, then insult them with ignorant and demeaning form termination letters.  Witness the chainsaw joke drama demonstration.  Never mind that these are real people whose lives have been thrown under the bus.  Their enjoyment for the job is stunning.
