Yes but right now they spend a billion dollars per year on humans doing things. They could tell all or most of them to go home and not come back, and then they wouldnt. But it seems they are placing big bet on this being highly temporary.

The odd thing is that they dont seem to get rid of anyone at all. Most companies use COVID as an excuse for a round of overdue layoffs

I agree this is odd. Given their business, what Airbnb needs 12000+ employees for is beyond me.
