Can someone explain this systemic hiring phenomena? A pandemic hits and every corporation thinks that's the time to hire and scale by gross multipliers? Why? Whose idea was this? How did it catch on everywhere?
Now the Federal spigot has dried up (well, is back to normal) and interest rates are higher.
Then it’s painful when more people slow things down because there wasn’t much process in place before the blitz hiring.
This isn’t a problem unique to engineering, you see it a lot with sales too. Leaders aren’t experienced or self reflected enough to work smarter.
