Involuntary unemployment does happen. And it's nice, when it does happen, that there are some companies around that will provide you with a day's labor for a day's wages, when you've got to put food on your family.

I wouldn't want to see all, or even most, companies do this. But for those of us not living in the Valley who need to support families, it's nice to know there are sources of employment out there if/when the poo hits the fan.
