Ok and? Wish we would recognize that these individuals will be fine? He's been at Google for 17 years. Surely he's a multi-millionaire by now and can vacate for someone else.

I realize this may seem callous, but time is zero-sum, and I would personally rather spend my time weeping about kids who will need to move and lose their friends because of these layoffs. Or first-time job holders who can't recover as easily from this kind of career event.

Just saying
