Companies don't care if layoffs work. They are confident that when the time comes, they will replace the dismissed with other employees. Whether the new hires will be as efficient and skilled as their predecessors is, of course, a question mark. But they don't care. Please stop thinking of companies as emotional creatures. The only thing companies care about is money. Who cares people.

"Only caring about money" doesn't necessarily mean you make the best decisions to earn more money. Look at how many sports franchises have desperately wanted a win and then made a lot of atrocious decisions that did not achieve that -- why would we think that's the only field of human endeavor where that happens?
