Do you think the CFO who proposed this dismal change regrets it? She raised her standing with her peer group by proposing a popular cost-cutting measure, and they probably blame the engineers for the outcome, not her. They may even be glad to be rid of the engineers who wouldn't adjust well to big-company culture. Big-company culture is a culture of mediocrity and interchangeability, and the guys on top like it that way. They want all the initiative and excellence to be on their level of the company, so everything that happens in the company is due to their control. Google is exceptional in even trying to avoid that fate.
