Perhaps they're hiring personel people to manage the lay-offs.

Also, this affects only salaried employees. They may be increasing production and are likely just squeezing more out of the employees they have left. That's usually how it works. They cut people and then just make those remaining do the work that 3 or 4 people used to do.
