They need a mindless drone to replace the 80% of their workers doing brainless jobs.

Yeah the problem there is that they don't know their own staff enough to know who are the people doing brainless jobs.

I've worked office jobs at a few large corporations. I've noticed they like to lay off a department, see how long the other departments can get by splitting up the work, then when everything is on fire they open up hiring. But every now and then... they let go of a department and everything just keeps working. It's a strategy that seems to work, unfortunately.
