Not only that, but they insist on only hiring engineers that are at the top of their class, as if they are still a premier employer. Like, sure maybe it's nice to have the pick of the litter, but the issue is that you need bodies.

They insist on always running short staffed, because god forbid someone other than the manager have downtime at work.
