He has already "suffered" the consequences. Google stock is down ~35% from its highs, so his compensation (which is mostly stock) has already been reduced by that amount. Following the layoff announcement, it is up by ~3% in premarket trading, so he is being rewarded for laying off these people. This is how the system works, designed entirely for the benefit of holders of capital.

Oh no. A billionaire's unimaginably massive compensation is now just somewhat less unimaginable.

What do you mean? Where does he need to be and why does he need to be there?
