What’s with the sense of entitlement towards jobs in HN?

Businesses will continue to employee you as long as they think it’s a net benefit to them. Their outlook can change at anytime and for nonsensical reasons.

I would suggest accepting this state of affairs. That might mean making sure you have savings, or up to date job skills. Refusing to believe this can happen to you because you have worked so hard or been so loyal will only lead to heartache.

We've built a world where you either get a job, or you are culled from the population. Culling is inhumane, so the only way to resolve that moral quandary is to guarantee jobs.

Being culled occurs when you are not in the workforce. It’s not the same issue as a guarantee to your current employer.

Either way these are just wishful normative statements. The business reality is that they will not guarantee you a job.
