[bedmeqgu] More layoffs than necessary

When doing layoffs, consider a policy of doing more layoffs than necessary: immediately after layoffs will be a period of new hiring.  The policy could be something like, every layoff of size N (number of jobs, or dollars) must be accompanied by new hires of size 0.1*N (for a net reduction of 0.9*N, so N =TR/0.9, where TR is target reduction).

This especially intended for large organizations with calcified inefficient power structures.  This is an opportunity to bring in fresh blood to rebuild from scratch, a silver lining to economic downturns.

Inspired by Greek public sector layoffs.
