On: Why are corporations cutting managers?

That part usually takes a couple quarters to show up though. :(

The organizational / social capital starts decreasing and then a few quarters later people see the costs of not having enough organizational capital. Boom/bust.

Management monopolizing organizational / social capital is itself a sign of a fairly unhealthy organization. So you might get a couple quarters of pain but then you'll end up with a better long term organization.

Ah, optimism. Not impossible, but rarely actually works out that way.
