A few other reasons reorgs can "almost always make some people unhappy, cause employee departures, and stifle productivity": A. Most orgs have multiple unmapped communication channels that smooth operations. With reorgs those get broken and have to be reformed and operationally remapped, which creates mayhem in day-to day productivity B. Change is unsettling even when welcomed; C. The view of how work gets done and why is highly localized. Reorgs often clean up only certain hierarchical levels of this how/why coupling.
