I see the American workforce as so obedient and practical that when co-workers see an unfair firing I don't think they really care unless it directly impacts them. I just got fired and yet none of my co-workers emailed me that day to tell me how bad they felt for me. One co-worker told me the day that I was packing up my stuff, but none emailed me later to offer their condolences.

How strange is this? What motivates this out-of-sight-out-of-mind mentality?
