How many HR employees do you realistically need for a company that is downsizing?

  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).
