They never do that. Instead they hire a team each of which is paid more than they paid you. Then they hire consultants to optimize the team because the team isn't performing well.
I worked at Dollar general for years. They couldn't keep decent employees at my local store, so I was commonly considered by employees and customers to be the favorite employee. Eventually, my manager quit. This resulted in them moving my assistant manager to being manager. Issue being, my assistant manager hated me. I knew that my days of working there were over because I'm not going to deal with harassment, so I left.
A year later the regional manager reached out to me asking if I want to take over as manager. They fired the entire crew, including the assistant manager. This could have to do with his embezzling of funds, tampering with the security system, his inability to leave even a single customer anything less than pissed off, or any number of other issues.
I told the regional manager to fuck off, she had her chance a year ago when I told her this would happen and why I was leaving.
My first layoff they hired 3 people to replace me. They all quit in less than a year. This is after they ignored me when I told them that their job requirements were impossible and couldn't be done.
Oh and it cost the company millions because a ton of critical information was only in my head.
