A layoff is certainly a sign that they hired too much, I agree.
I was going off what I figured the poster was getting at: they don't understand how Uber has even 80% of their employees.

Uber is discussing laying off 20% of employees. 100 - 20 = 80.
It's completely reasonable to assume the OP was trying to figure out how they have so many employees, even after the layoffs.
