I'm not sure why this seems surprising at all. In fact, it seems like exactly the intended result: the company is getting rid of managers. That doesn't say anything about how employees are faring in the new model.
This is like posting an article asking "why are so few people smoking in restaurants?" right after a no smoking rule was introduced in restaurants.
Unfortunately, I do think they will run into some adverse selection issues. The best employees are also the ones who can easily find a new replacement job and collect a free 3-month exit bonus. Not to mention that many top performers probably rose into management and are facing the possibility of a pay cut.
