Was it miscalculated? If shipping demand is substantially higher in year X than it is on year X+1, the it sounds like having a larger workforce in the former than the latter is the correct headcount calculation. Think of it this way: if Maersk didn't expand headcount just so that they could avoid layoffs later, then people wouldn't have had jobs in 2022. Consider * 5,000 people working in year X and in X+1. * 10,000 people working in year X and 5,000 people working in year X+1 Which was the better situation for workers and society at large?
