My wife started as an M at Accenture earlier this year coming from industry. I’ve never worked at Accenture or any b4, but I had to explain to her how up or out works. She also didn’t know that she came in with 24 months at level and what that meant. Really surprised none of this was communicated during hiring or by her manager.

Nope. It’s business. Also they get a nice package usually and in F500 companies they all move around.
Also unemployment is at like 3.4%. There are so many jobs this would be the best time to get laid off get 6 months salary take a vacation and bounce back
I'm impressed with your ability to rationalize it.
I automate jobs out of existence as part of my daily. I have come to terms with it by dropping hints and it just being the way of things.
I only ever feel bad when someone’s super friendly and helpful but oblivious to how they are making it easier for me to snip their role.
I’m an industrial engineer and I’ve always had a hard time mentally coping with projects that involve cutting jobs, reducing process times, making workers lives more miserable than they already are, etc. The worst part is that some of the workers don’t even realize that the work you are doing could cause them to lose their job. And the ones that are aware, you have to be so sensitive in your approach. It’s mentally draining. I’ve tried to avoid projects that deal with these kinds of things
Why? Layoffs by themselves are not unethical.
Context is necessary. If the company cannot compete with its current costs, then not trimming such costs could cause it to go out of business with complete loss of jobs.
