As an owner of three businesses, I had to make the hard decision, post Covid, to lay off some staff, due to a drastic drop in social events, that I serviced through direct mail. I did lay off the marginal people first, but then had to cut a few highly skilled.
They and I were not happy, but all found their way and their lives normalized, as did mine.

I understand - as most do in the private sector. There are no guarantees.
Just how and when did civil service become 'a job for life'?
Public service jobs should be under greater scrutiny than private sector jobs because they serve ALL taxpayers. WE should be the arbiters of the quality of their work, and whether they can keep their job or be fired.
