You could cut costs and let the money roll in. But unfortunately even if that's the smart move for the company, it's unlikely to be the smart move for the individual decisionmakers.

Empire building is fun! And the press you get for hiring more people is infinitely nicer than when you announce layoffs and other cost cutting measures.

It looks like the US software companies replace all of their employees every 6 years without any action, whether they want it or not.

You don't need a layoff to migrate a product into minimum maintenance.

Natural attrition is unlikely to leave you with the kinds of people you want for effective maintenance.
