Work gets done under outsourcing; it just shifts responsibility for coordinating across time zones to the remaining terrified-and-sleep-deprived tech leads. Can’t argue with the most magical place on Earth! https://www.shrm.org/resourcesandtools/legal-and-compliance/employment-law/pages/disney-it-outsourcing.aspx

Long-term, it’s hard to pay bonuses or dividends if your company doesn’t make money. Hard to make money if work doesn’t get done.

Too many managers/companies hesitate to fire people for poor performance because they don’t want to feel like the bad guy, Providing severance can make people feel better about letting someone go.
