It's also a fairly reliable indicator that the glory days of the business are over, and they're pivoting from innovation to capture / create new markets and products to a conservative stance protecting their dominant position at the expense of everyone else - customers, staff, suppliers, vendors...

It's possible to run lean and innovate, but at this phase of the business lifecycle, they're not retooling to remove redundant management and organisational bloat - they're cutting the "doers" responsible for building the product because they know they're now in a position to sell the same old BS and just crush new market entrants that would drive continued improvement.
