It's the same brain-damage that leads to companies offering 
lucrative early retirement or voluntary layoff packages in an
effort to downsize.  They get "downsized" alright...and the folks 
that are left are likely the very ones a sane person would want 
to get rid of, while the good people take the money and find a
job with the competition.

Apparently this is some kind of modern management theory...
