    Depends on the ratio to total employed. A team of 3000 with 2000 with nothing to do, for sure! 20,000 with 2000 as backups/currently learning the ropes? A bit more reasonable.

      You don’t employ people as backups. What you do is you share knowledge across the existing people so there is no single point of failure.
