Slash costs/headcount in short term, sell, pocket the cash and get the hell out of dodge.

Not necessarily. If you want the best price for the company, you might want to grow it before you sell it.

New Relic went through a few reorgs during his tenure, but they didn't freeze hiring until after the sale.

They hired an axe man, people are getting hurt.
