Each of the following, if true, supports the claim above EXCEPT:
(A) The compensation paid to midlevel managers is greater when they supervise more workers.
This means the Manager gets more money if their own departments is overstaffed hence its profitable to NOT suggest reductions (Supports)
(B) Midlevel managers have less work to do when their departments are overstaffed.
The Managers are getting a perk of doing less work because of overstaffing hence its smart to NOT suggest reductions (Supports)
(C) Staff morale and productivity often suffer when workers are laid off.
To Keep the moral and productivity high they do NOT suggest reductions (Supports)
(D) Departmental workloads at most large corporations increase and decrease significantly and unpredictably.
To meet the fluctuating needs they do not suggest reductions. (Supports)
(E) Many large corporations allow managers to offer early retirement as a means of reducing staff.
In this case it would have been profitable for the manager to reduce staff , as it allows them to get early retirement (Does not Support)

i got this question right only beczuse i had the exact reasoning for options A-D for being "supportive" of the discussion. that is the reason i selected E.
looking to understand , how managers offering early retirement to people on their staff wud mean any benefit for the managers themselves tht wud prompt the managers to suggest reduction on their staff ?
