It's all about short term profits, new person comes in, increase profits by slashing costs. They look good and move on up or to another company and do the same. By the time the issues of poor support and quality start affecting the business no one remembers who instigated the whole thing. It's a good way to move on up the ladder for these execs.Comment

Exec and management in our country are not trained and they are expected to make results fast in the short-term, so they make bad decisions. Then you have the sociopaths who understand this and play it to their advantage.
The people that care and really understand a business are just fodder and in my experience of medium to large companies they rarely make it to the top, though there are exceptions.Comment
