The company does not want the reputation of doing regular layoffs. The new tactic is to make life unpleasant enough, for as many people as possible, to get as many to quit as possible. Now it's a layoff without being a layoff. Now only the people with the fewest hiring options will remain while the best and brightest leave. Watch out for this company, it is not good.

I don't know for sure how things are now (I left a while back) but the new CEO (despite his statements to the contrary) clearly signaled his intention to stomp out the existing corporate culture by creating a new layer of management above the existing VPs and staffing it entirely with outside hires and management consultants. That was the beginning of the end for many longtime employees as far as I can tell.

Does seem like the genuinely intelligent and competent folks are all leaving.
Oh, I knew there was a reason why they went Agile.
