I empathize with those who are losing their jobs, but folks have to understand this whole industry is facing a cliff. Ford and GM may not even be able to muster the strength to compete in the age of autonomous vehicles. Cutting jobs to keep the ship afloat is a lot better than allowing the whole thing to sink like the Titanic. If this allows for proper retooling to navigate the next generation of automobiles, then so be it.
Sure, it s---s losing your job, but do you know what's even worse ... not being a citizen of an industrial nation like the U.S., making fewer than $6 a day like half of the world (https://www.worldbank.org/en/news/press-release/2018/10/17/nearly-half-the-world-lives-on-less-than-550-a-day). I've seen abject poverty in places like Paraguay, Tunisia, and Moldova; what those people on average deal with is MUCH more real than getting laid off.
So listen, stay positive and keep sight of the broader picture; you're extremely blessed to live in such a wealth nation. The next few months may be tough for those that lost a job, but there is so much opportunity at their feet compared to the majority of the world. We need to place ourselves in the proper context and be grateful.
