I mean, this is the “wall street” answer. Could they have burned some of the $0.1T cash on hand to ride out the dip in the economy? Why did they hire so much, and continue to hire even after it was clear things were slowing down in 2022? Why wouldn’t a hiring freeze + attrition and internal transfers have been enough?
