Many/Most airlines are not expat airlines who in good times arrange their management style to essentially make their employees economic hostages and on a whim toss some of their best people out with little or NO practical options. EK never attempted to offer anyone a win win offer although it never does. EK has always know the cost of absolutely everything but never the value of anything! You combine that with a bunch of middle managers who are scared of their own shadows and some who will sell their own..... to add a management tittle to their name and the result is what you are seeing!
