> I find it hard to believe that a team of $200k-$300k/yr earning employees at Google can't find a way to generate more than 5% net margin for the company?

But does the decrease of 6% of those employees have a resulting income decrease? Likely most teams will continue to function without the missing employees. Also plenty of the employees are recruiting and HR and other non-income-generating employees.

Also yes they have billions in marketable securities, in debt, and interest income, etc
