Remember that it is quarterly revenue. That gives an average revenue of %636K per year per employee, which does not sound that bad.

  > Remember that it is quarterly revenue. That gives an average revenue of %636K per year per employee, which does not sound that bad. Oh wow I totally missed that. I thought it was annualized. Okay that changes my question to, "How the hell can you not turn a profit making $636K per employee?!". As in how seriously inefficient and overpaid is this company?

    THey are paying $170M in stock based compensation this quarter. That is in addition to salaries. These costs add up fast. No wonder lay offs are needed. If I were them, I would target people who are stock compensated very high to start lowering those costs. That said, Adam Bain and Anthony Noto are each paid $70M/yr in stock compensation [1] - so you have that.

      They're offered a lot of stock because they're worth something to the company. Same goes for new grad engineers pulling tons of income in stock. It's possibly a bad strategy for a tech company to start firing the people it values most.

      Good fucking God, a company that hasn't made a profit in ten years is paying their CFO $70M? I hate Silicon Valley so much.
