Re: over hiring
I haven't worked for a large company for a long time but the last place I was my VP pushed us to hire 1000 people in one year. Turns out he was an acting VP, and needed to have that number for his formal promotion. Our division got penalised at the end of the year for falling short. By 30+ people.
I left before it collapsed and was sold for parts.
wow which company was this?
Not op, but GitLab fits the form.
but was GitLab sold? I don't think so
I'll give you a hint: the company was featured prominently in the preface to The Dilbert Principle.
