Kinda like stack ranking for layoffs, especially when done regularly. The idea of cutting the fat always seems appealing, but it also signals things are going to get unpleasant, and top talent tends to jump ship early unless you're paying top dollar to make it all worthwhile. The ones you wanted to retain the most are the first out the door, and within a few years, the only ones left are those who don't have great prospects elsewhere, frequently with reduced output since the stress induced by the omnipresent prospect of layoffs isn't great for morale or productivity.
