I don't... need to see that again. It doesn't matter how good you were. When restructuring happens you lose regardless.

If there was one life experience I wish I can give to people, it's that experience of being fired because of restructuring.

Imagine doing your job well. Imagine even loving your work and your coworkers. Then suddenly, a behind-the-scenes convo led to your department being dissolved and you're out of a job. You didn't do anything wrong. You were just in it's way.

Welcome to life.

The only responsible thing for the working class to do is to form and maintain stronger unions and unite with all workers.

I'd prefer teaching this kind of thing.

Can't say this enough. The only way to have some kind of power as a worker is to unionize.
