I'm not sure what you mean by shareholders giving, but without hopefully sounding to cold here..."right-sizing" is just a given with business. If you had three people who you regularly paid to do your lawn care, and you decided two could do it well and besides you couldn't really afford to pay three anymore, wouldn't you let one go?

The tax breaks Boeing received to keep their plants in the area unfortunately did come with promises to have zero layoffs. Maybe that's a lesson learned for the local municipalities next time.
