C'mon. Suboptimal would be having staff be off by 20%-30%-50%. Google laid off what - 6%?

It's terrible for the people laid off, but from a company standpoint that falls within normal fluctuation range.

Their staffing is off by that much though. The bulk of google is working on non revenue non profitable ventures
