It's a tragedy of the commons. Each CEO on his own doesn't make much of a difference in the overall economy. His choices are: layoffs and get a bonus, or no layoffs and no bonus. But he doesn't influence any other CEO's choice. They're all monopolies now so they don't have to worry about losing sales from poor quality.
