> Jokes aside, how do you end up having more than 500 excess people than what you need?

Often with this sort of thing, the company is essentially sacrificing future revenue to cut current costs; projects get delayed or cut, but, hey, the balance sheet looks better for a bit!

The other reason it happens (and here the cuts would mostly be operational and sales) is if the company just isn't getting as many customers as it had expected.
