Yes, large corporations really are that stupid, short-sighted and corrupt. If this CEO had any decency (yeah, right), he would have said, “No, give me one million and split the rest with those 1700 laid-off workers.” It would have come out to roughly $12,000 per employee.

"America's largest wireless service provider plans to cut 1,700 jobs by offering its technicians and call center employees buyouts.
