I can only speak for my own Big N but I would say we certainly did overhire. I was pleased that we had a layoff and would have even doubled it. Processes have become very slow with so many unnecessary people involved in everything. You might argue that I would be speaking differently if I were the one laid off, but I actually would have welcomed it, since it would be nice to take a break for a few months. I am certainly privileged to be able to do that (although it comes from working very hard for 10+ years and saving >50% of my income so I do take some credit). I feel worst for people on visas that might get kicked out of the US because of this. But I don't think it's the job of corporations to atone for the sins of the government. We should make immigration easier and not tied to your employer (and health insurance as well).
