Interesting... As comments have pointed out already, this might have to do with the fact that companies kept on hiring more people to deal with the influx of customers during the pandemic.

I don't question it, but I most definitely question how many of these companies blindly hired these people without spending a second thinking about consequences of their actions. Shopify was recently in the news for the same reason[0].
