The "we over hired" line is mostly made up. Many of these companies did not substantially increase their head count. This has more to do with improving P&L numbers to get their stock up, since most companies' revenue is tanking currently.

The big companies all seem to have massively hired up.

Meta: up 2x since 2019 (although coming back down)

Google: up 1.5x since 2019

Amazon: more than double (although not clear how much of that is tech workers vs. logistics. They have certainly spammed my inbox enough)

Salesforce: doubled

Numbers from Macrotrends, for example: https://www.macrotrends.net/stocks/charts/CRM/salesforce/num...

Didn’t Salesforce nearly double headcount since 2019 though?

Some sizable percentage of that is acquisitions as well though
