No one wants to admit the real reason corporations are laying off thousands

Interesting POV. I see/saw this often in the larger company I worked, lots of people providing no real tangible benefit.

Even though it's The Hill, I believe this story.  I, myself, didn't do squat my last year at the large company I worked for, through no fault of my own.  Here's a lesson I learned in the 90's:  When the company stops spending money to modernize your Department, you are number one on the layoff Hit Parade.  I was 60 and I had been saving my pennies for years so the severance package was a good deal.

Have seen this for the last couple of decades, where I and others I know have worked. Just too much top heavy bloat, even before more automated times.

And the problem is that top heavy just breeds more as those people look to justify their job, which makes your job harder.

Funny story, during the covid people were allowed to be off as much as they think they needed to not spread it around. Some really took advantage, some worked theirs and other overtime to fill.

At the end the managers looked at the numbers and productivity was up by a substantial margin, so what does that tell you?

It tells me that people who TeleCommute tend to put in more than 40 hours per week.  That was my experience for the years before my number came up.

Particularly so with government jobs. You could fire half of the government workforce today and very few would ever know they were gone.

Salaries for government employees are greatly dependent on the number of people under one's supervision. No further explanation required. I'm sure it's the same in the private sector as well but to a lesser degree.
