It's pretty crazy to see rationalizations here for reversing the signing bonus and annual bonus.
I can't in good faith ever do that to a high-performing employee I'm making redundant.

That's the problem ain't it. Some exec higher up management is offered some delta money incentive, above their regular bonus to make this kind of stuff happen. Very likely they think having some extra money as bonus(due to cost savings) is more than ok, to buy that expensive home in Menlo Park- If it takes screwing a few hundred/thousand employees along the way.
Nobody ever does Judas work unless there are gold coins to receive in return for nailing the unsuspecting through their limbs.
How virtuous of you. What about a mediocre performing one?
