The counterpoint is that Nedry was hired to stand up infrastructure and is likely the one responsible for not properly staffing that effort. The CEO isn’t going to know anything about that and will naturally defer to the people hired for those tasks. If Ned says it’s all fine and he’s coming in under budget, no reason to doubt him.
We all know lone wolf types which will hack together systems and pretend like everything is fine just so they’ll never be bothered by the presence of others questioning their brilliance.
Hammond chose the cheapest contract bid for his computer system needs, choosing a contracting/consulting agency in Cambridge MA. Nedry worked for them and was responsible for fulfilling the contract. He complains about not getting paid enough personally and I doubt there was further room in the contract budget for more headcount.
Again, this was because Hammond went cheap on the contract. This is just one instance where he is repeatedly shown to be a cheapskate throughout the movie.
