Example: if an Area Manager in the Atlanta area is identified as needing to relocate, because of his org, to Dallas and another AM in Dallas faces the same issue but to Atlanta would they consider allowing the employees to swap roles?

Yes.
They won’t proactively help you but raise it up if you know of someone willing to swap with you.
Don't mean to be cruel, but how would that reduce headcount? Asking for a friend
One more time....No swapping..
HR isn’t going to lift a finger to help anyone at this company, especially when they know they got you by the ballz.
If you can find that person and you know you'll be in the same situation, and you actually think you have a chance of making it happen, I'd so so NOW before letters go out. HR-wise this is not terribly hard to do. But if you throw the RTO/headcount reduction on it, that will take precedence.
If your jobs are that easily swapped, then why wouldn't T be happy to have neither of you move and hire some GenZ kid to do it without pension and for less money?
That would make sense if this wasn’t a targeted and coordinated headcount reduction. Unfortunately, it is.
No do you think ANY of this is about doing a job effectively? This isn't about collaboration, efficacy, efficiency, effectiveness or any performance metric. It's about headcount. Why is it difficult to see that none of this really works unless it's about something NOT stated as a goal?
You think they can manage something that complex?
No
That's gonna be a "No" from me.
