    I find it weird how so many companies are targeting for layoffs instead of expanding the company. You get an accelerator…

      Most corporations are near-term driven, not long term. It’s why many don’t innovate anything anymore. Quarterly profits matter more than anything

      Companies are competing for the same market share.

      As an example, what are you going to do with four times more accountants than the total market needs? There are only a limited number of companies to do the accounts for. If one accountant can do four times the work as before, he might be able to expand. If every accountant can do four times the work as before, they cannot all expand. On a company level, why would you keep all the staff doing only 25% of the work as before? Their labour has been significantly reduced in value.
