In plains-speak: they just keep recruiting more and more 'suppliers' without worrying in the least about diluting the available work on too many people.

I've seen this kind of tactics used in many fields - all aided and abetted nowadays by 'modern methods' that leave you with far more limited information compared with dealing with real people and not emails. ▲ Collapse
