You don't "lay off" in order to recruit "new people". In many jurisdictions, you can't do that legally.
Not that EA has ever cared about silly little things like employment laws.
Incidentally, I work for a 10,000+ employ software company, and to my knowledge and belief, they have never "laid off" anyone, ever.
I'd better tell management that consistent year on year growth - and regularly heading up the best companies to work for lists - is "abnormal" and "unhealthy". They're doing it wrong!
