<i>&gt; you hire a lot of people to work the wells</i><p>I think it&#x27;s a valid question whether that&#x27;s still a valid approach in a modern, high-value knowledge economy (and yes, I&#x27;m including oil well operators in there).<p>Honestly interested from companies that have been through grow-shrink-grow. Is it as clear as that, re: being able to find new people when the time is righr? Or is there enough of a ramp-up time for new employees that the equation is more complex?
