even if they let all 48000 employees go, I'm sure they won't reduce the salary savings in the budget. they'll just find another way to use the extra money to fund some ridiculous project.

my company laid off a bunch of employees, which was supposed to save 2.5 million over two year. three months later, all the executive restrooms were equipped with Toto automatic toilets. 47 units of Toto's top of the line model that will make any Japanese executive red with envy(exact quote from the contractor who was installing them). Tell me what's wrong with that?
