I was an Assistant Manager of a well-established, popular restaurant franchise about eight years ago now. Business was fine, probably showing a modest black line on their financial reports.

"This location is no longer in operation."

That's all the advance notice I received when I arrived for my scheduled shift and all the doors were locked. No two-week-notice, no severance package.

Publicly-traded corporations don't care about their employees, their only concern lies within how to spend as little money as possible. Employee benefits included.

Sure, and people in tha industry regularly quit with no notice to. So not really what the cartoon was talking about.

One demographic are folks who appreciate their employment and subsequently lose said job because of corporate decision, while the other demographic you state are people who make the conscious decision to quit a job. That's comparing apples to oranges and making a blanket statement about all workers within that industry, or honestly any given industry. Your argument is moot.
