I really understand at least at the early stage of a business startup until the business is stable financially to be able to generate enough money together for more staff, I don't think overstaffing is still rampant nowadays because every business are able to know the amount of employee they need.
In most of the countries, under-staffing is a real issue, not over-staffing. This is because the owner of the company usually want to save money and therefore they use limited staff for their business.
