I think they are mostly doing this as a stealth layoff. It's been a pretty popular strategy lately.

The joke is, you get the good people to leave first this way. Be it estate or layoff, it's a bad move either way.

So why do they do it still? Only thing i can think of is the powerplay. CEO types are sometimes as developed as a child, mentally.

Because from you run a mega corp, you don't care about talent. You need complaint slaves!
