These efforts always seem absurd to me. All of this effort to make the company look just a bit better than normal operations would have shown. Why not just "take the hit" one time and use all of those "resources" to do something productive?
What you say makes too much sense. If it were your own business this is of course what you would do. Maybe better for tax reasons too.
But I am guessing in their case, that the "resources" they could save are from those that put in the effort to do this juggling. If they really wanted to increase the efficiency of the operation they would lay themselves off, which seems a bit unlikely.
