I don't care. But I stand by my assessment.

Not all hours worked are equal among different employees. I know a guy who came home at midnight everynight during deadline times at work. He's the most inefficient person I know and that's why he's there until midnight every night.

Conversely I know very lazy people who are brilliant enough to be worth more to a company than hardworking ineffcient people. Worth is measured in dollars not sweat.
Seriously, work isn't a place that's supposed to hold your hand and sustain you throughout your life. You aren't entiltled to your job and numerous things outside of your control from business mergers, the economy, to straight up bad managers (to which the company's demise and the ensuing laying off of employees is actually capitalism's way of dealing with the driftwood) can derail employment, that's why governments have EI and why people should have emergency savings. That's life in the big city bubs. The alternative is government run day care for adults and a crumbling standard of living.
