If the average cost of those employees is 150k usd, then it's 1.8 billion. I imagine it's probably much higher than 150k depending on how many were US based engineers. If they make 55ish billion this year, I think it makes a pretty decent impact. I 100% support siphoning as much money as possible while doing as little work as possible (a.k.a coasting). However, from a capitalist perspective, it makes sense to try to weed those people out. Gone are the days of a 26 year old making as much as a neurosurgeon while working 20 hours a week.
