@sawaba @dalias @hal_pomeranz If the majority of workers aren't necessary, why isn't ownership aggressively culling their workforce? By far the biggest expense of most corporations is their payroll, shouldn't they be hugely incentivized to reduce it, especially if they could drop it by >50%?

And yet, we only ever see companies perform layoffs when they're under duress. And even then, the layoffs are very rarely so extreme as to eliminate half the employees.
