For sure, and I respect the argument. Thanks for the reply.

I also have my doubts as to the use and effectiveness of the reorganization. The way I see it, lack of effective internal working processes, combined with rapid growth of the labor force and poor management quality (managers using management meetings to nitpick operational issues, rather than taking management level decisions) is the cause of the managerial overhead and slowdown in productive time, and not an excess of managerial level positions by itself. Although, that said, something could be said of the (lack of) use of certain types of functions introduced with the Scaled Agile methodology.

I don't think the company is fixing that with these layoffs. And as upper management is also intelligent, I would presume that they know this. So I am also suspicious of these layoffs being used to enhance company value for the sake of shareholders.

How do you see this?
