Most of the employees in this announcement are in Europe, where there is no "firing" (i.e. at-will employment aka employer abuse).
There's only laying off with a severance and firing for cause, where firing for cause is by design <<super>> hard to do. And it's definitely not something that can be done to masses of people at once without all the government authorities coming to pay the offending company a visit ASAP.

Not if you figure out the entire context of this event.
