It is interesting to see such statements popping up in the context as if something is horribly wrong with that. Google is not a charity or even some B-Corporation - it is commercial company which operates for benefits of their owners.
It is also worth to note many of those "owners" are not individuals but something like pension funds, which often have troubles to fulfil their obligations and need to maximize their returns above all.
Having said that, it is quite certain among those 12000 let go there have been some bad decisions, where Google would be much better off, over long term retaining those people and putting them to the good use.
