This is a pretty popular thing at many large companies. Everyone somehow wants to hire the cream of the crop, yet there are only so many cream of the crop candidates.
My own experience is that after a couple of rounds of these layoffs, most of the fat is cut from a lot of teams. After that you start knocking off productive people.
I'd be more impressed by someone who invigorated their workforce and then selectively cut people after they figured out who wasn't working out. Choosing a random manager assigned number that wasn't specifically requested to be a ritual offering of headcount isn't very smart. It'll bite you in the ass eventually when productive people actually end up leaving because of the work environment.

I think in some places it's not so much the desire to hire the cream of the crop, but a manager or managers wanting to believe that by hiring only the cream of the crop, they are then the cream of their crop. As a side effect, it helps them maintain an erection.
