If this how they respond to an uncertain economy, what the hell are they gonna do in the face of an actual bad one?
I know it's not how businesses work, but when a company with a multibillionaire boss says "we don't have money to keep you" it rings very hollow. One billion dollars is enough to pay 10,000 people $100,000 a year. (More realistically probably 5,000 with benefits and taxes and such. But still.)
