Re: Over-staffed by 2x to 4x.
And what's worse is if an American multinational buys out your non-American company... you're doomed. Local HR having to beg the US HQ to be able to place job adverts (and the answer year after year is "no"), headcount reduced through people moving on and never topped up, departments/teams stretched to the limit, wilful ignorance of the "digital disconnection" laws in your country. The same degradation in workers conditions that has been enjoyed by US workers over 3-4 decades must be visited upon new subsidiaries in the rest of world in 3-4 years.
