The company will close faster? Oh no! Muuuuuch better to work 80 hour weeks, get a serious case of burnout, have no resume developed, not be prepared for your job search, and keep those-people-who-are-not-you's business going... what... a single day longer? A week? Or how about the most likely scenario? 0 seconds longer. I'm not sure how much value a single engineer can create for a whole company between current date and company shutdown, amidst the layoffs and all... But if the marginal difference between 100% productivity and 25% productivity of a single engineer for a couple months is directly visible on the companies overall revenue, to the point its termination-date is meaningfully altered, then you have either got someone who will be working at Amaz-oogle in weeks time regardless (and no good explanation for going under!), or we're talking about a revenue stream that is comparable to selling aluminium cans found in the trash. Things are already trending south. Self-interest is a moral imperative. The rats that staple their feet to boats drown.
