Something controversial or provocative about this subject

Computer Associates's (CA) layoff of employees in 2004 was unjust, unfair and not needed, in consideration of the top executives all giving themselves large bonuses while ruining the lives of thousands of formerly loyal employees. Mine was particularly harsh, in that I received my notice via a conference phone. My new manager had never even met me, even though I had worked there for 8 years.
