What the math?
- diminish 11y ago40/120 = 33% except misreporting, another possibility is that there was a previous layoff. Like 120 to 107 (~11%) and then from 107 to 80 which is ~25%.
- skrebbel 11y agoI guess it's not commonly known in HN circles, but hardware startups often measure their staff in kilograms because it's an SI unit.
- staticelf 11y agoThis comment was funny.
- mikekchar 11y agoNo idea, but is it possible there were actually 160 employees and the count after layoff was 120 employees? That would be 25%.
