I've been privy to execs sharing the "why" for stacked ranking, open plan, layoffs, and various other decisions. If you had some naive belief in the efficacy of capitalism or the idea that CEOs are highly paid because of their brilliance you'd be very disappointed to discover how often the answer is "we're doing this because other companies like us are doing this", or "because an analyst told us we should do this".
