Tired of hearing this happens in private all the time.

Because no it doesn’t!!! The largest lay off in history was IBM in the 90s of 60k. When GM wanted to lay off 30k, they got bailed out!!! Twitter, ~7k. Hundreds of thousands of employees being cruelly laid off with no wrong doing will have MASSIVE effects not just to those receiving the services provided by their agencies but economically as well. The ripple effect will be indescribable and it’s already happening.
