I'd always rather see employees get payouts on shutdown compared to companies, especially things like billion/trillion-dollar cloud companies and commercial real estate.

That being said if you're burning $30M+ every month in the current financial market I really hope you cancelled all your catering contracts a long time ago.

Depends: food can dupe people into working extra hours for free. They think they are having a lunch break as they talk shop while chewing on their ciabatta.
