The layoff practices you describe are true in every hierarchy. Take the bureaucracy at my old university, for example. When I left, there was one administrator for every two students. It was so inefficient that one administrator told me that they spent half their day hanging out in meetings just to justify their jobs. And yet when the university needed to cut back, who was laid off? Never an administrator; oh, no, they laid off maintenance workers. One year it was so bad that we had dirt and dead leaves blowing through the buildings, looking as if they had been abandoned for years. They could've saved the same amount of money by laying off a couple of high-level administrators, but we can't have that going on, can we?
