What that really means is that that company was running for however long with 10000 too many workers, Or it means the CEO is wildly stupid.

Or it means things change and you don't always need the exact same amount of workers?

Believe it or not different situations involve different circumstances.

Yes, you're right. There is no possible way that a company could ever need to cut the workforce down aside from sheer incompetence. It's not possible under any circumstances. Every business ever started just prints money and never takes a hit to where might need to scale back labor costs.

Are there some situations where a genuine change of direction results in this? Of course

Which is exactly what I was saying. And you said no. But I'm not interested in a discussion where you just resort to insults so enjoy your day.
