He has the money already.

And the 10% layoffs were much misreported. The layoffs were only among salaried employees with the release simultaneously saying that they will be increasing hiring for non-salaried production employees. A 10% layoff of only salaried workers isn't that large of a layoff.

Given that the salaried work force is going to be less than half by economic necessity of a manufacturing company, the actual layoff then would be less than 5%.
