I don't really understand the moral issue with a company eliminating jobs. Similarly, I also don't think these companies are doing a moral good for creating jobs in the first place.

I think the issue that most people have is also that companies expect a certain level of respect and dedication from their employees but are not willing to reciprocate.

Make sure to work as hard as possible for us, pleas work extra hours if the company is doing bad. Don't take your vacations when it might impact team performance badly. If you leave give up a big heads up.

However we'll refuse your raises and bonuses if we feel like it. Also must be willing to move and uproot your whole life with no guarantee we'll keep you for long. We'll fire you one day after telling you your job was safe, and close all your company accounts before you get to save any of your documents or say bye to your colleagues. And remember no complaining after you leave, or we'll get you. Happened to quite a few people I know, not me thankfully.

And just "get an other job if you company sucks" doesn't always work. You might not know that your company sucks until you're out the door, or finding a new job in your field or without moving your whole family might not be easy

The moral issue comes because these jobs are tied to people's livelihoods and ability to provide essentials like food, housing, healthcare, etc for themselves and their families.

Do you also boycott farmers for using tractors instead of thousands of laborers?

Don't let perfect be the enemy of good.

I boycott Dominos for putting up a "don't feed the workers" sign. It doesn't matter if other companies do the same, I'm boycotting that one.

That would be proverbially trying to close the barn after the livestock have escaped.
