Batman - Dark Night - the sure way to fire

I was watching Batman - Dark Night.... The opening scene is interesting where Joker takes his bunch of goons to rob the mob bank and in a well co-ordinated effort, every time the previous person completes his task, the next person in his link has to eliminate him and then start his work... at the end only Joker survives... I recently saw a similar strategy where a company wants to consolidate its operations and reduce their number of regions by half while also reducing the number of people by half too... it first starts with the inital regions to fire a few and relocate a few guys, while the person identified for the new region eliminates people from the consolidated region and fires a few more after consolidation... finally the HO fires whatever remaining target needs to be acheived, in a true Joker style execution...

Hats off to a picture perfect execution...
