Many people seem surprised that an organization would simultaneously hire and fire. I think that's normal.

At the end of every season, the Yankees fire some players and hire others.

Old cells in organisms die or are killed, while new ones are born.

Soldiers going on missions may put down the equipment from the prior mission, and pick up new equipment.

The argument "the organization is behaving selfishly, they should just repurposing the existing organization member" is inane since the function of members of an organization depends on the member's specialty, role, purpose, and an organization's purpose can change over time.

It's really strange people act like this is some killer argument when in fact nearly every organization with multiple entities does something analogous (grow in some ways, shrink in others, at the same time)
