The layoffs were not an immediate monetary issue.

They could have had a trillion dollars in their pocket and would still have let those people go, because that's what the spreadsheet says to do. There is 0 human element or the concept of someone keeping their job. Even severance doesn't matter, they don't count it, they slip it as money they would have lost anyway, and then spin it into a gain when it's less than what would have been lost by not cancelling the project these people were on.

This is the main issue really, yes spreadsheets, yes numbers but not at the expense of the population. And befor anyone comes in and tells me these corporations have rights, rememeber the only reason they were able to hire so many people in the first place is because of tax benefits during COVID. As tax payers, we paid for them to hire, and we are also paying for those who got let go while all these companies are recording record profits. Not just profits, RECORD PROFITS
