Because he doesn’t know wtf he’s doing. That’s why he sends out those “What did you do this week?” emails. He actually doesn’t know and has no idea how things are done.
When he cuts people’s jobs, he’s doing it on a very loose to no understanding of what the purpose of those jobs are.
So, then he has to inevitably beg people to come back to work after firing them because his firings break whatever critical system he thinks he understands.
