Well, one does not preclude the other. If they did overhire intentionally I expect they wouldn't admit that or act in a way that might make lots of people suspect it. But sure, all that could be straightforwardly true too
- ltbarcly3 4y agoThey didn't overhire intentionally. That is not a thing that has ever happened, I'm sorry that your pet theory is ludicrous.
- anm89 4y agoNot at all ridiculous. Growing companies do this all the time. And exactly as the other poster said your experience that the company is disorganized doesn't preclude this possibility in any way.

- ltbarcly3 4y agoName one company that did this. We aren't talking about hiring the 3 people with some specific skill, we are talking about hiring programmers. Name a company that hired all the programmers.

- anm89 4y agoFacebook in the 2nd week of the 3rd quarter in 2011 and Google in Summer of 2004.
- ltbarcly3 4y agoOk great, I worked in downtown Palo Alto in the 3rd quarter of 2011 in an office literally sublet from Facebook. Every available office seemed to be being taken over by FB at the time, but they were also renting them back out as they outgrew them. Where we were, it should have been ground-0 of some kind of engineer shortage right? We were a small startup and we had no trouble hiring, in fact I don't recall a single person we recruited going to Facebook instead, or even anyone mentioning it. Certainly they didn't hire anyone away from our company. I think you are grossly overestimating how much one company's hiring can effect the market. Since you were, I would guess, maybe 16 at the time you must have read this somewhere? I'm curious what your sources are.
