That's not his decision to make. Google leadership decide how to allocate people and resources. Some areas are bloated, but others definitely aren't. Goog has 10x staff per capita (not linear scale) as a comparable MAAN_ I work at. They definitely don't have enough in GCP and have a track record of under-resourcing support and engineering. It should be high-status department that doesn't pinch pennies, but they do. AWS OTOH is high-status and rarely touched by layoffs because it's both critical to running the company and highly-profitable.
