If they save a few hundred euro through extra ticket checking but waste several thousand euros worth of management wages, what benefit is that to passengers?

Either those managers have a job to do which matches their salaries or they don't. If they have time to spare to check tickets, their management work is wasted. If the level of fare evasion is so high that it surpasses management salaries, IR need to hire extra people for RPU duties.
