Those ones can smell the end is near and jump ship probabaly beforehand

If you sense it coming and you work for a company that treats people decently (dunno if eBay does or not) then why wouldn’t you hang around for the payoff? A good company will give a months pay per year of service.

  why wouldn’t you hang around for the payoff?
If you took a job as a developer because you love creating useful things that people like; and you know after the layoff the product is going in the trash; that's going to cut into your job satisfaction a lot.

Plus there's the risk you'll be among those who aren't laid off, but your working conditions will worsen.
