I don't think firing middle management, documenters and designers with no trackable productiveness and forcing people to work in their free time is the same thing ?

Do you have evidence of this claim that it was only unproductive people (though I find your definition of who those people are also suspect)? I've read news of large parts of teams being fired, including gutting important groups like curation.

Statistically, by firing entire teams, you're bound to catch a few unproductive people. The acutally productive ones that you fired can be filed under "side-effects of making the company lean".
