Since when is the firee’s future employment prospects any business of the company doing the firing?


The previous comment capstoned the discussion by concluding, correctly imo, that this is a cooperative, non-zero sum game.


Well, in the current culture, if you get a reputation for firing people three months after hiring them, you'll have an awfully hard time finding people who want to work for you. And you will probably see your best workers leaving to work elsewhere.


It hasn’t been since we’ve elevated sociopathic techbros to near god status. You might also remember it as human decency.
