This appears to be an example of a company NOT miscalculating how many people they need, but how many people they need changes over time. Therefore headcount should be expected to change over time.

Companies hire workers when the need them and let them go when they don't. Just like workers take jobs when they need the pay and quit when they don't.

If management did not hire more people when they needed more workers it is bad for the company and also bad for the workers who could have been hired and earning those wages when there was increased demand.
