They've increased headcount when times were good, and reduced it when that demand recedes. What would they do differently if they had a 100% accurate forecast?

- scrapcode 4y agoI believe an argument could be made that some of these companies knowingly went overboard on the headcount increase. In the end, sometimes it is just the cost of business. Layoffs are common in the trades and come along with increased compensation that is often designed to help cover those layoff periods (see Davis Bacon Wage Act). My point being more in the direction of these layoff justifications seem disingenuous if not flat out lies.
