How do you define "don't work"? It depends on what goals you have. Sometimes products, services, teams and organizations are not aligned with the business strategy, and have to be restructured. Sometimes there are locations with a high cost of life, but the value generated at those locations are not proportionally higher. Sometimes you have outliers in the compensation distribution that no longer meet productivity expectations. Some individuals make key contributions and then stop making them while enjoying the same benefits. And sometimes you have pseudoscience like "Vitality curve" style layoffs which are proven to make things worse.
