If large companies didn't plan beyond the quarter, a lot more of them would be failing all the time.

You can't even build a factory in a quarter.

In reality larger companies usually prosper for many decades, because they do plan long term.

I think you're conflating job losses with not prospering.

Boeing's stock is up on the news. Lost jobs = lower payroll = improved cash flow. That's the bottom line. Shareholders couldn't care less how you arrive there, just that you do.
