I've got to disagree with you here. One person's misfortune or mistreatment doesn't justify the mistreatment of someone else just because it's not as bad.
If we think of it like that we are destined to have all T&Cs degrade to the lowest common denominator as no one will be able to defend themselves because "there is someone else worse off"
The loss of a job is horrifying, especially for a family's breadwinner, and itsonlymeagain is clearly in a terrible situation with my full sympathy. But to use that situation to disable another group from standing up for themselves in the face of harsh treatment seems logically incoherent.
