Anyone telling you that you could work 24/7 building a startup or working for someone is lying to you. We are not robots.
People need a break, something different to do.

does anyone know if they are forced to list complete procedures?
example:
hernia will cost $4200
or will they be able to list dozens of other charges that may or may not be added to the procedure?
Can't withdraw it.

What's the "normal" way to lay off a group of people of that size? Do companies normally schedule one on one meetings in this case?
The bottom line is the getting fired is, almost always, bad news. Sure delivery matters but if he was announcing a raise, no one would have questioned the manner. So unless he had some major financial aid for the laid off...

Layoffs will happen when companies aren't doing well. IMHO, the problem is the CEO getting a freaking _BONUS_ while simultaneously claiming the company isn't doing well and as a result they're laying off people. The board probably approved his bonus as well, so all this is nothing but a PR stunt. They don't care, they never cared.
If the company isn't doing well everyone in senior management should also get a haircut. Bonus cancelled, pay reduced, etc. As per the CEO - "Not meeting deadlines will not be acceptable". Well, dude, what about your own deadlines and milestones? He drove the company into the ground, and so should also shoulder some of the responsibility.
They hoped to do better after firing them, thus the bonus. One day you're "part of the family," the next...
Anyway, I hope the CEO feels Better
Is there a limit to how many years after one dies that one’s remains or grave can be disturbed?
The concept of having ownership of a piece of the universe even after death is puzzling to me.
>>Is there a limit to how many years after one dies that one’s remains or grave can be disturbed?
One gazillion years for a scumbag taking the head to his basement and destroying bones.
Graves can be moved if determined by the government, of course, but with dignity. That is totally different from some jerk deciding to desecrate graves. In a lot of countries that can send the desecrater to his own grave. If the law doesn't act, family will.
When I was a freshman at MSU in 1970 I was a member of the MSU amateur radio club. One day the faculty leader recruited me to help a Phd student with his Slow Scan TV experiments. The Phd student had a technicians license which didn't have operating privileges on the HF band.
So we operated in tandem and I got to learn all about the then brand new world of SSTV. It was really jerky video but you could send it all over the world. Remember vividly talking to an Egyptian ham who did a live broadcast from the pyramids with camels walking about and it was all live, hot stuff for the time.
The SSTV community was pretty small at the time, no more than a dozen leaders in the U.S. One of them was a fellow by the name of Don Miller from Indiana. Even after all these years I remember the name because there was earlier a rather infamous ham by the name of Don Miller who was an MD, who quit to travel the world putting rare nations on the air.

Shocked to learn a half century later that I was speaking with the greatest archeological thief of all time. Guess both Don Miller's from Indiana were scoundrels.
>>Shocked to learn a half century later that I was speaking with the greatest archeological thief of all time.
Worse. Desecrating hundreds of graves to take remains is the one thing that cannot be explained or forgiven.
I see Roman coins or Roman era stuff for sale on some FB groups. Frankly, buying them, even if illegal (some countries have laws making anything historical found state property), is not the end of the world provided you don't destroy them.
Google have their flaws (I never trust any new product of theirs will last), but on the whole, I am happy using their products and services. I have got enough value out of Google search, Gmail and Google docs over the years to make the privacy trade-off worthwhile, personally.
Facebook and Instagram are products that make me more unhappy as I use them. According to Facebook's Internal research, I am not alone in that. The privacy trade-off is not worth the net negative value.

You are assuming that no one else would have provided the same stuff with less intrusion, killing competitors (will come home later to roost) etc.
You are ignoring the fact that Tim Cook fought the government on the San Bernardino shooter, and still has his job.
The Board is not going to fire Pichai over this, provided he appears to be fighting through the courts rather than practicing outright defiance.
you can fight until the case is still in the courts. Then, it is over. That's what I meant.
Maybe the correct response to unconstitutional, secret warrants is to refuse to comply, maybe even refuse to respond?
It's not clear to me what would happen next but I can't imagine Pichai would be arrested. Maybe a datacenter would be raided (could FBI even guess where this data might be physically located?) but at least then some public action would have to happen and break the secrecy.
>> Maybe the correct response to unconstitutional, secret warrants is to refuse to comply, maybe even refuse to respond?
Ummmm, no. Correct response is courts and then comply. Pichai would lose his job in a minute.
