ok. so you can reduce your head count without impact great! Why would you get rid of people? Why would you not reassign those people into other productive or revenue generating activities?

The only logical explanation is that they don't have enough opportunities to utilize those people OR as I previously mentioned... their financials might look bad, and they are trying to make them look better so they don't take a hit in the markets.

Fire people. Stonks go up. Bonus!

Stonks go down - fast - when all those fired people stop buying, but that's a problem for the next CEO.

As you say, they could also expand. Or just fix the problems with the site.

But they don't have the imagination to do that.
