I find the terms "less and more" applied to ethical confusing. Telling a company to harm people a little instead of a lot is enabling.
My use of ethical here is strongly tied to obligation. e.g., it is kind to give money to a person, but not unethical if you chose not to especially if you can't afford to.
The way I understand you is that it's kinder/more sympathetic to provide a greater severance. This part I agree with!
Severance is not free, though. Increasing it will either cost Uber more heads or greater risk (and more heads later). I'm repeating this question: Is this not unethical to the retained employees?
