You are making the same definitional mistake that many corporate
managers make. *Least expensive* does not refer only to immediate out of
pocket cost. the loss of a skilled base of labor can be a very expensive
cost.
I won't get into the issue of whether cutting costs = greed, other than
to remind you that corporate managers are trustees for the owner's
(public's) investment in that company.
