Interesting scenarios you line up, it's not how I see it though. The public sector of Denmark has been downsizing everything by 1-2% a year for almost two decades, so it is actually the low-level employees who needed this because they are terribly overworked. Obviously management is happy to save that many administrative hours, but they've actually already reaped the financial benefits years ago by law. A cynic might see a bigger cause and effect relationship in there, but I assure you that both our political system, and, our bureaucracy is far too inept to come up with such an elaborate mastermind type scheme. Also if you have a migraine so bad that you couldn't work, you'd call in sick. In fact, a good manager would send you home sick if they spot you. We have paid sick-leave in Scandinavia. If you have recurrent migraines, we even have national programs, that will pay your workplace a compensation for much of your sick leave.
