I only meant to say playing the moral card is pretty weak here. If the moral thing to do is pay people forever to do something you don't need them to do, well, I reject that.

If this decision is a bad decision, it will hurt the company. That's not my prerogative, it's the companies.

How are you so sure this is not "long term planning"? How are you so sure of everything you've said?

If you hire people to only fire them a few months later that's poor long term planning. Starting projects without resourcea is poor planning.

If you don't understand basic things about how knowledge workers actually behave and think and you are literally killing their morale that's poor long term planning.
