Have you ever managed a complex, dynamic, changing system and found that the optimal size based on current conditions was 20% less than it was at some prior time?

I can think of all sorts examples.

Why can't the CEO share the fate of laid off employees? They did nothing wrong either.

The answer to your question is definitely no. Nobody who has ever ran a business for long would think that every layoff is due to CEO incompetence.
