Back in a previous life in a chemical R&D lab the company did layoffs and claimed to the media that it was all to marketing and administration. In the lab we lost about 50% of our researchers but weren't allowed to talk to anyone about it. I'm guessing companies really want to make it look like layoffs aren't impacting the people responsible for the product, and feed questionable data to that effect.
