Right, which is why you should treat it as a person legally, but emotionally and ethically - who cares? It doesn't have feelings! People and corporations are allowed to do all sorts of shitty things to each other by the laws of the U.S, and you shouldn't do them to other people because that's not what being a good person is about, but when it comes to a corporation - its feelings are not going to get hurt.
Definitely a big shift in perspective from the old days when a company was "family" and you had a pension and an expectation to stick with the company for the long haul. Nowadays it's unhealthy to treat a company that way, since that "culture of loyalty" was just a short lived thing around the time boomers worked.
