That's stupid.
Thats not what I meant. I have no doubt that you contributed meaningfully there and elsewhere.

I meant they dont care whether they get rid of good workers. That is irrelevent. The idea is to squeeze their employees in terms of salary and perceived stability.

If you look at the backstory of the movie, Wall Street, you see that they are trying to show that a company who treats its employees generously leaves itself vunerable. I was trying to make a similar point. When I say fat I am not at all referring to the quality of the workforce. Clearly getting rid of experienced employees is nuts if thats all you care about.

I am not trying to support such behavior. The system is nuts is what I mean.
