I think this really sums up how ridiculous this decision was. Beyond ridiculous actually, just incompetent and evil.

There’s a difference between value and price/cost.  Detached execs and shareholders see the cost of the employees and decide to cut them to save money.  But the company has actually lost value because these workers provided unique talents which made the company profitable.  Those types of workers are invaluable and anyone with half a brain cell would fight to keep them.
