What investor would want a company to cut labor if that hurt the companies chances of future success? Only a complete novice investor would think that is a good idea.
You cut labor because you can maintain efficiency and production without the labor being cut or because demand is expected to slow down and you do not need the additional labor.
I won't say it has never happened because I don't know that for sure. But it is 100% retarded if a company cut labor because it thought that is what Wall St wanted. Wall St. doesn't want that. It costs to much to rehire a person and train them, not to mention the costs of firing a person.
You're portraying investors as much more sophisticated than they actually are. I'm fairly sure that some companies don't completely understand how their forecasts are derived - much less investors who are on the outside looking in.
