Why do people say they feel “betrayed” when they get laid off? What is going on their heads?

I’ve only ever seen my relationship with a company as a business one. I provide labor. They pay me. I try to do good work, be honest, and deliver what I promise but I have zero emotional attachment to my role or company. It’s merely a service I provide in exchange for money. In a sense, a company subscribes to me. When they cancel the subscription I am out.

No matter how hard I try, I can’t understand the emotional component. It’s a business relationship and should remain one.

Perhaps that’s why I do well day-trading and the like.
