That assumes "supporting" functions from HR over Accounting to Sales are actually not doing anything at a daily basis...

  How many HR employees do you realistically need for a company that is downsizing?
  • hef19898 4y ago
    Quiteva few, actually. Downsizing does require a lot of admin work. Once the downsizing happened, well, those downsizing HR folks are the last to be downsized.

        how are you actually this naive? Classic HN attitude of thinking every single job that isnt engineering does nothing. You understand theres tons of underlying systems like payroll, insurance, legal issues, severance packages, government filings that happen when you either hire or fire someone?

    A lot, until the downsizing is done. Although the US don't seems to have a lot of these 'worker's rights' so I guess I don't really know (/s).
