Some of the people getting laid off have been their for 35+ years. You get that used to something and it just becomes a part of your daily life for decades. One day, with minimal warning, you get a letter that says "k thx, bye."

I suppose "entitlement" still technically fits, but I don't think the primary driver is arrogance or delusions of grandeur. Just the sense of betrayal after such a long period of familiarity and stability. And to be replaced with jeets is the final insult.

Even if these studios are usually filled with the worst people, it'd be difficult for anyone to take that situation gracefully.
