Difficulty

At firms with vertical hierarchical structures, managers are generally unlikely to suggest reductions in the number of employees in their own divisions even when these divisions have more employees than are needed.
Each of the following, if true, supports the claim above EXCEPT:

(a) Many of the world's largest corporations allow managers to offer early retirement as a means of reducing staff.
(b) Managers are typically able to generate more income when they supervise more workers
(c) Having an abundantly populated stuff enables managers to reduce their workload
(d) When workers are laid off, it can cause a damaging blow to the morale of the workers that remain at the organization
(e) At most large corporations, the need for workers can fluctuate dramatically, and unpredictably.

OPTION A CORRECT
Offering early retirement as a means of reducing staff opposes the fact that ''managers are generally unlikely to suggest a reduction in the number of employees''
It is the only option given to suggest how employees can be reduced in an organisation and shows position to the entire claim.

OPTION B INCORRECT
This supports the claim because if managers can generate more income when they supervise more workers, it gives them more reason not to suggest reduction due to its financial benefits even when they have more employees than needed.

OPTION C INCORRECT
Reduction in the manager's workload due to more workers is another reason that supports the claim of no reduction in the number of employees.

OPTION D INCORRECT
This shows the need to keep the workers rather than lay them off due to the damaging effect it can have on other workers in the organisation, and in light of this, it supports the claim because it eventually leads to the non-reduction of workers.

OPTION E INCORRECT
If true that the need for workers can fluctuate or become unpredictable, keeping more workers than needed seems to be a sensible solution to this and also supports the claim.
