> Companies aren't really people. You wouldn't call a rock falling from a cliff a psychopath, you just don't stand near cliffs.
Decisions in companies are made by people, not rocks. And their decisions aren't a product of laws comparable to theory of gravity. And saying that CEO had no other choice but to fall on head of unsuspecting employee and/or client is a lie.
People who have responsibilities to a wide veriety of people including the remaining 138,000 employees, who have a very great interest in the continued health of the company.
If only owners/management was so interested in well-being of the remaining 138,000 employees and instead of doing buybacks, saved that money for salaries. Also jobs were cut not to save Google from bankruptcy, it was done to raise profits and shares value. They would be fine with few $10^9 less, but they don't want some of the money, they want all the money. Infinite growth is impossible.
