Because it wasn't overhiring though.
They finally had enough workers to split the workload fairly over them without them getting overworked.
Now that the pandemic is over, they can go back to hiring just enough people to make everyone overworked again without the company collapsing.
It really depends on where you worked I guess. My company was understaffed and worked us to the bone before, during, and after the pandemic.
I'd like to have that number of people working to keep the workloads lower, but costs are costs and they gotta cut from keeping going under.
And God forbid the CEOs take a paycut and make up the pay of 20 people themselves.
/s, just in case.
You should have added "but will anyone think of the shareholders?" in there.
