I don't think they really care, or feel that they have to care. The way that I've seen it work is they'll make rare exceptions for individuals they absolutely can't lose or wan't to hire but that's it and the exceptions truly are rare.

Yeah, anyone that assumes these people care if it hurts the company in the long run is just mad, all they want is to see the stock go up after the announcement.

I absolutely agree that they dont' care on an emotional level, but they're going to find it difficult to run a business when 90% of the senior staff leave and take their institutional memory with them.
