Build loyalty to an employer only after they prove they are worthy of it. Some employers do warrant loyalty, because they are good employers. A company that does this dirty work using mercenaries instead of their own hearts is cowardly, and therefore dangerous.

Also their inability to stomach doing it themselves is evidence to them that it’s the wrong thing to do, but they don’t care. They want the thing done, the fact that their conscience seems to deflate them every time they think about doing it themselves should indicate to them they haven’t really thought it through, that there are complex outcomes that will not go well for them if they proceed.

So do they steel themselves and proceed anyway? No they hire Mitch and Melissa to doublespeak-handwave their way through it because they’ve mastered the vapidity required to fire someone with zero questions asked and take ten minutes saying “I understand how you feel” (as a psychopath I understand the feeling of fear).

They do not understand Brittany’s feeling of injustice. That’s the feeling they don’t understand, and don’t even realize she’s talking about.

As far as I’m concerned, this video is evidence that they fired her without reason. Why? Because she asked for a reason and the HR ghoul said “We can’t give you an answer for that”.
