But if firing is mandatory, ALL hiring is hiring to fire, so where is the story?

Obviously if you are forced to cull X% you are going to try to maintain 1+X% staffing level.

Yes, hiring to fire is an obvious consequence of a firing quota. The firing quota is the headline. The hiring to fire is a gory detail.

This is all old news, anyhow, is it not? I recall hearing about the Amazon mandatory firing process years ago.
