Nobody wants anyone to loose their jobs but this is done all the time in the private sector.
If a company is not making enough money to sustain, cuts are usually made.
People loose jobs when companies shut down or change ownership.
You want to protest a company that supports something you dont like, it hurts the company, they make cuts, and someone on the bottom level looses their job.
No guarantees except for your skills and performance that can land you a better job.
Why should the government be responsible for guaranteeing you a job when it doesn't for anyone else?
