I understand your argument and it is an interesting given the technical source of demoralization. What I submit to you that this level demoralization already happened. He already has very limited good will ( won't do anything extra unless there is a clear benefit to him ). I won't touch loyalty, because I myself have been through rounds of layoffs and have long accepted that in a corporation, that is merely a 7 letter word with little to no meaning. I guess what I am saying it is not a new trend. Just a stepping stone in corporate America. The only difference is now, we don't get Mr. Burns choosing this, this and this one ( keep the egghead ); this time is a blackbox algorithm that won't ever touch the real decision makers ( cuz someone with enough forethought will add an exclusion list :P ).
