The point is that not only is the timing woefully insensitive, but the duration, locale, and purported reason ("digital detox") serve to painfully highlight the inequality between the CEO and the people he just made unemployed.
I don't know the specific demographics of the 7k that were laid off from Salesforce, but the chances are fairly good that some portion of those will end up homeless or near to it due to the loss of income before they can land another job. Those chances are highest for those who are already in the worst shape (particularly those with chronic illnesses or some form of disability).
But the CEO is "mourning" these people so hard that he has to go on a (guesstimating) five-figure vacation to the tropics...?
