Are they adding additional employees to handle that shift (additional employees at all levels - not just operators and technicians)? Or are existing employees expected to do more work?

It's straight up in the article...

“Please refer anyone you know who you think meets the Tesla bar for talent, drive and trust” he wrote. “Between Fremont and Giga, Tesla will be adding about 400 people per week for several weeks.”

Hiring people is a short term drain on existing employees. They're the ones doing all the interviewing and onboarding for these new people.
