This is true of most companies, I've found, especially large ones (and
even more in the GSM market).  The lower-level managers - team leaders,
project leaders etc. - who are the ones who actually get the work
organised, know they need more staff.  The middle managers let them have
more staff (contract or permanent).  Then the accountants get in on it and
decide to cut 'unnecessary' staff and get rid of them ('unnecessary' in
some cases meaning people who work on the OS and comms, because they don't
do anything which is directly billed to customers).

I could name at least three of my previous employers with this attitude,
all of whom ought to know better because /it happens a lot/, in some
cases the cycle takes less than 6 months.  It's a feature of the
industry...
