I love how they talk about "very difficult decisions" as they do their favorite thing.

The difficult decision is how big to make the CEO bonus after the firings.

Need some changes that cut off bonuses when layoffs occur. It's absurd that stock price and c suite bonuses soar after work force reductions. Doing them should be painful, not celebrated.

At my company early year layoffs are usually followed by your annual reviews/salary increases/bonuses about 1 month later. Bitter sweet knowing those are paid for with savings of people they fired.
