Laid-Off Ford Employee Decides To Start Own Car Company
- nostrademons 19y agoOne of my sister's former coworkers dreams of starting his own oil company. (My sister is a petroleum geologist.) Supposedly he took a bunch of economics and business classes as an undergrad, but he must've slept through the part about economies of scale. ...it doesn't really apply to software though. The software business has significant diseconomies of scale, so it's actually rational for employees to quit their big firms after learning all they can and strike out on their own.
