This may be also influenced by the selection criteria (or culture in other way). Basically, it's about those "who stay". The reasons to stay in a stagnating org could be diverse, but the attitude for change is often "lay low". Reasons to stay in "more with less" org are kind of a gamble, quite unsettling for anyone, let alone with kids. In general, people would not care when they feel having no control over process and result. Just like when some other forces move them in whatever direction, like when riding downhill, why to spin the pedals?
