The thing is, if they bench too many workers, they will also be ridiculed: https://www.networkworld.com/article/2920903/google-really-k...

In fact, this action is probably part of a conscious effort to move away from "benching".

The article is about VPs getting a forced sabbatical after a reorg. No one changes their business tactics due to jokes on a TV show. It's totally normal and nothing anyone is moving a way from.

It has nothing to do with rank and file people getting laid off.
