>> I feel deranged pointing this out, but hiring triple the headcount you need to run your business is not a progressive social value. I don't know what it is.

There's a certain bay area company that has a large developer office here in my rural state. They've been hiring as fast as they can for the past few years. From all my friends who work there, I get the impression that there are way more people now than there is actual work to do. And yet they continue to hire because I assume head count alone is primary metric.
