You are correct. No one is entitled to a job. Though, if you are a hard worker and a top performer, you should be recognized and compensated accordingly. Not fired because you *make too much*. Whose fault is it that they were making that much to begin with?

You are also correct in saying that a company's job is to make money. However, a company will not fare very well if it's employees aren't happy employees. Turn around is much higher, therefore raising training costs.

When a company treats its employees like dirt, expect the employees to treat the customers like dirt.

There is a delicate balance between employer and employee. One can't survive without the other. Sooner everyone realizes this, the better off society as a whole will be.
