So they got all that money from Uncle Sam's CHIPS Act only to lay off 10,000 employees and make themselves "lean". Govt funded unemployment.

Non essential work, oh dear Product and Project managers, where are you gonna stand in the way of good products next?

Executives will be "essential", QA, sys admins, etc will be non essential.

Eliminating QA is a huge value. We all know it reduces costs relating to employing people, but that's just the start. It eliminates the number of bugs found and reduces the amount of work that comes with it. All in all it helps projects to release on time. There could be no problem with this, clearly.

All my KPIs are saying this is a win.
