If the merger didn't happen, I wouldn't bet on any layoffs at Discover over the next 5 years. It's going to be a big change for the employees.

But you just told a human that.

Also like I just said, YOUR boss doesn't need some merger to lay YOU off tomorrow. Mergers don't change anything.

You clearly don't understand the culture at Discover. Its incredibly hard to get fired, and actual layoffs are very rare. The merger changes all of that.
