Why would you expect a corporation to treat you as an "individual"? What would that even mean?

You think executives should let a company go bust, rather than shedding staff when times aren't good?

I doubt that it's news to anyone that staff are an expense.

Employees got 14 weeks severance. They didn't have to do that.

This is not true. There are State and Federal restrictions on mass layoffs, which generally require a few months of notice. Giving severance is understood to count as notice. In any case you'd get the money, and you probably wouldn't be useful anyways.

wrong:

expenses are on income statements
