Are there actually companies that do what Clooney's did in this movie?

If so, what a miserable job that would be. How much would you have to be paid to do that day in and day out?

Switching to reactions from being laid-off, rather than being fired,

"...The people terminated seemed to think that their getting fired was due to meanness...."

Yes, and that a series of layoffs is something personal. As if they could have done something, worked harder or been more ruthless, and avoided the ax. That's so often not true.

"...It never occurred to them that if their division is losing money..."

And it never occurs to laid-off employees, that if the company doesn't make the cutbacks, they could eventually go under, and everybody loses their jobs.

Sounds like a good movie, will see it this week.
