    Well, that’s nothing new, it’s at least been a thing for the last 20 years I’ve been working.

    Best use of that I’ve seen was a manager that always pushed to get new headcount, and then never wanted to fill it. Because the company counted cancelling unfilled positions toward a departments required layoff requirements, so several layoff rounds spared every actual employee in his department.
