The problem is that "keep your lights on" is the only thing people will care about while overworked looking for another job Agreed. However, if a business is bleeding $1M per month and has $10M in savings, "keeping the lights on" for a while is considered success. I will mention: I'm not advocating for a specific course of action. I'm merely trying to explain one way of reasoning.

Google could, for example, spin up a consulting arm and (1) Get dead-weight people out of core operations (2) Likely, make a mint.
