All well and good, but the thing is... Even the narrative that workers now have to pay for the CEO's mistakes gives the CEO an unjustified excuse.

Nope. Alphabet is insanely, embarrassingly profitable and was during their first layoffs. There is no reason why they needed to fire anyone. If they committed to their workers a fraction of they level they demand their workers commit to them, they would not have done the layoffs.
