You basically rephrased what I said - because "doing business within your current budget" doesn't mean you're making the right decision. If you temporarily overhire and then have to lay people off, you'll be in a worse spot than if you hadn't overhired in the first place. Good management wouldn't do this, but it's safer, because you will be judged less harshly for doing what everyone does ("doing business within your current budget").

It's simply accepted that the rules of the game are such. You can change the rules, but probably not if you're publicly traded... unless you're Apple.
