Parkinson's law: Work expands to consume the time available. (1955)

This is just blaming bureaucratic drift on the workforce. Only in the 2020s (or since the late 1980s) companies abandoned any care or concern for their own workers, and are glad to lay them off during growth to maximize profit.

The ownership class will tremble something something. We literally have nothing left to lose but our chains.
