It’s better to over hire based on a reasonable chance of growth projections becoming a reality and missing rather than to under hire and hit your targets for growth. With the former you can layoff people and eat the hit. With the later you are falling behind and giving up ground to competitors. So it looks dumb eventually but all the way up, possibly for many years, you’re staying ahead of growth perfectly.
