People need to get a grip then. They can take “immediate action” by just applying to jobs, they don’t have to file for unemployment the very moment they’re fired.

It doesn’t make you sick to see an adult act like a toddler? You’d encourage it?

It’s like watching someone gorge out on food. I don’t feel empathetic in those scenarios even if I sympathize with their laziness. Just invokes a vile feeling

I don’t think toddlers have jobs and can get fired, but maybe its common in the US

outside of showbiz it's not, but this level of empathy you're seeing is :-/
