I'd say that they're "cooking the books" as in: making it look like they're in better shape than they are by cutting costs, but causing irreparable damage to themselves that will manifest in the long run.
I've survived 3 layoffs at Spotify last year alone. Once I started working there It didn't take long to be proud and feel happy about it. Now, although people still find it cool when I tell them and I still do the same job (no workload increase), I know it is just like any other greedy corpo and I feel compelled to care less and less.

I just survived layoffs this week and I now give zero fucks about the company. People are scared and angry now.. It's really not a good way to get the most out of your employees
I have done it both ways. Stuck in out thru layoffs and jumped ship when they happened. Generally, if you can, I think jumping ship is better.
I thought I was working at a great company, now I wonder if I'll be employed at the end of the year.
It sucks I know. Happened to me twice. If it helps any it probably wasn't the people you worked with, it was a financial "engineer" who did this.
Yeah, apparently 3 trillion dollars isn't enough to get by for the company
