I have never worked there (or any other major tech company) but if I had a job there, I wouldn't give it up until I'd found another job. Perhaps the people there aren't going crazy at the job hunt and still just haven't found another job they want.

It's really easy to think "all the layoffs are over and I made it" and "job hunting is painful, I don't want to do it today" and just coast for a long time.

I'm sure every awful thing he does spurs another effort for job hunting, but unless the job actually makes them work harder or fires them, it probably doesn't change much for them.

Also, they get paid a lot more than I do, and sometimes it's worth the pain to keep raking in that cash.
