If AirBnB is so certain in its "we are family" speeches: Why not give every current employee who has to be laid off because of the current situation an option t

  Because “we are family” was never meant literally. Companies will day and do a lot of things to get the most out of their employees, including emotional manipulation.

  Explicitly, the mechanism for that would be a furlough. Not so explicit, but most laid-off employees are "eligible for re-hire". That assumes, a) the company re-opens your same position, b) you still want to work for the company and haven't found a job in the interim, and c) that "economic situation" improves quickly to allow for the above, which it probably won't.

  If they're a family, why not give everyone in airbnb equal shares? Because it's all bullshit, whether the founders realized it or not. Also, a family doesn't get their members to sign nondispargement agreements, unless it's really disfunctional. That kind of evil is a cult, not a family. Remaining Airbnbers would be wise to ponder those agreements and how ominous they are.

  Probably partially because the planet is being destroyed and AirBnB is not going to improve again.
