Quite. Management in almost all large companies don't care about you. They don't care about what you want, why you went to work for them, what's going on in your family life, anything at all regarding you - you are a cost stream and that is all. If they can optimise that cost stream by pretending to care about you, they will. The problem is that the rest of us tend to think like actual human beings rather than psychopathic monsters, so it always comes as a surprise when management do awful things. It's what they like doing and it's what they're rewarded for.
We all need to stop thinking of them as people and more as algorithms.
