What does a recession have to do with the amount of work you have for employees to do? If a recession causes 5% of their subscribers to cancel, it’s not like there’s 5% less work to do company wide. If the company hired more people than they have work for, it likely has little to do with a possible recession. In the case where it is true that they have too many employees, I think there is a moral responsibility to attempt to find profitable work for those employees. Or to at least ride it out and make a smaller profit in the lean years if it doesn’t seriously endanger the health of the company. Corporations aren’t merely groups of people, they have been granted additional legal rights like limited liability. I’m fine with laws that say something to the effect that in exchange for limited liability, corporations over a certain size must give some consideration to the employee welfare. Many countries require that workers have board representatives.
