How can you fire 18,000 people without seriously disrupting your business (not even considering loss of morale, angst, good employees running away or getting their resumes ready). But just logistically. How do you decide who those 18,000 are? Just random? How do you know which are 'expendable' or the 'bad Apples'?
When you are talking this size, I doubt that is even possible.

That'll filter down and the final, specific decisions probably get made at much smaller scales. There's certainly going to be some sub-optimal decisions, though.
