Wait, a giant corpo didn't actually do cost-cutting because they 'had' to and instead lied to all of their employees about pocketing money?!

In Finland this would be illegal. Firing employees requires reason, and if the reason for firing was "cost cutting", the old employee must be hired back first before new can be hired. There are of course some time limits.

This is what unions do for you.
