How much do these guys make?

The costs you just mentioned seem to be fixed costs not necessarily related to the number of employees. Employers have facilities costs no matter if they have 1 or 10 employees. Training happens whether there are 20 or 30 people in a class. The electric bill is pretty similiar the same way. It is sad that the costs get broken out that way, but you are correct that this is how it is often done. **sigh**. It's sad.

I would like to see what departments this is coming from.. If it's retail that makes no sense... Store Managers make $45,000 to $55,000 with some bonuses which may add another $10 - $15,000.. Then go down the chain of command and it's not near that..

That's simply not true.. at all. You pay for number of seats for computers.. you run less computers, you use less power (if you want to nit pick) ... sometimes when there are downgrades, they also consolidate work spaces and shut down or decommission call centers (in case of call center areas).. and no, it doesn't always not cost less to train just train fewer employees..

And I noticed you disregarded other expenses such as insurance, workman's comp, and other expenses to employ someone.

As I own 2 businesses that employ people, I know these costs.. having been involved in major corporations in finance department budgeting, I know these expenses.. they add up..
