Maybe so many people simply don’t view these as “atrocities”? Your wording suggests a privileged life, and ignorance of the practices of the vast majority of companies in the US, abroad, and throughout history. This is particularly true if Google is your idea of a company that treats its employees poorly, to the point that this almost must be taken as parody.

EDIT: Ah, it seems that spreading pro-Amazon, anti-Google sentiment is your main purpose here on HN. A short sample of recent posts:

> Apple and Amazon are adding real values to the economy and making positive contribution to society. Google and Meta are parasites

> I wonder if this bugs exists on FireOS. It's obvious that bugs like this will happen in a spyware company product like Google.

> I wish everyone would start using Twitch, so that we can have a proper alternative of Google/Youtube.

> Everyone should move to Twitch and make it a proper alternative to Youtube. I trust Amazon way more than an ad company like Google.

> Thank you for posting this. Moreover Google is a spyware company that holds users hostages for money. I wish Twitch can replace Youtube someday.

> I really wish Amazon would take charge of the internet infrastructure. I prefer customer obsessed infrastructure Amazon than spyware and adware companies like Google and Meta.

> This is outrageous. We need to find a way to stop Google. Google invades our privacy. Google holds us hostages for more money.

> I wish people would use Twitch more to make it a more viable Youtube alternative. Amazon doesn't have user hostile attitude like Google.

> I wouldn't trust any Google hardware - decomissioned or not. You don't know what kind of spyware they are running on their hardware.

> Exactly. IDK how people can use Google software. You never know when they will quietly inserts some spyware or adware into their so called open source software.

> Amazon is an amazing customer focus company. Google is a spyware company that only wants to make more by invading our privacy. Of course Amazon products will be better than Google.

And so on and so on. Very strange.

EDIT 2: Even more egregious, your submissions: https://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=johndfsgdgdfg

Is your issue with them trying to quantify what a "poor performer" is? Or do you think it is immoral for a business to lay off bad workers? Or do corporations at a certain scale and profitability have a moral imperative to employ people just for job creation reasons?

I am just asking because laying off poor performers sucks and it must be a soul-searching moment for whoever it happens too, but I don't know if a business doing it is inherently evil.
