>Even without questioning the capitalist obsession for infinite growth (despite finite resources and markets),
Seeing how communist regimes aren't exactly practicing degrowth, I think it's more accurate to say it's a human obsession.
>we should not have had the practice of hiring more than is essential to run the business. Who thought it was a good idea to make a success metric out of headcount?
Ostensibly companies aren't hiring for the sake of headcount. What they're actually after is market dominance, which can be obtained by building a better product, which require people.
