These may be dimwitted questions but still want to ask: 1. Did Google, Amazon, Meta, etc benefit by over hiring during the pandemic? 2. Did the benefit of over hiring outweigh the cost of job cuts? 3. If both 1 and 2 are yes, then did they know about the possible layoffs and still intentionally over hired to max benefits?
