That's the problem of the world now, this generation is full self entitled human beings. Corporation and companies is made to make profit not taking care of anyone else welfare, even though they have programs to worker like family day, team building, christmas party and etc. Petition is just a waste of time and might jeopardizing there job, soon as you mentioned in your article there will be layoffs.
Companies should take better care of employees, but they don't have to so they won't. People are a cost - that is why they move to AI :)
