I just stated in another post how we are reactive, and not proactive in our decisions. Especially with everyone involved.

The future is coming no matter what, we just don’t know what it is.

It’s a quick easy read.
We’ve become overly reactive and we spend too much time on miniscule issues while ignoring what is actually transpiring.
You are correct, folks still aren’t uncomfortable enough for change, complaining is easier and that’s why change feels forced on us. If we don’t pay attention, if we don’t have discussions and insist our political reps hear us, then other folks will make the change for us.
I hear you, my trust level is equal to yours.

Layoff all the over 55 white people first.

That is exactly what corporations do. They know there will be no effective retaliation from that group. At least not from those classified as Straight, White, Christian, Male. Members of other groups may present a more difficult problem.

Laws are interpreted very differently, depending on your membership in a protected class of people, and the current ranking of that class in "The Narrative" (tm).

This is not a system that can or should continue.

She might have to return to her home country, China.

Biden will send a limo to get her relocated and some cash and credit cards.

I assume that you did not return and shoot up the place.

I have worked at locations where management thought that was a real hazard when they dismissed people from a certain protected class. They instituted additional security procedures for several weeks afterwards.

Knowing the individuals involved, I was in general agreement with that assessment. In a small office, "everybody knows" if there is an unstable or dangerous individual on staff. Nobody wants to see the problem or admit that it exists. Nobody wants to confront the problem unless there is a face-saving way to usher that person out the door. It is probably for the best.

There were no follow-up incidents. The individuals affected went on to other jobs where they seemed to be doing quite well. Sometimes "a change will do you good".
