This thread exemplifies why employee count isn't suitable as even a rough indicator of corporate performance.
- chrisco255 8y agoWhat is? Revenue per employee or net profit per employee?
- quickthrower2 8y agoProfit? Cashflow?
- izzydata 8y agoAverage salary excluding executives.
- Spivak 8y agoAverage with a blacklist seems like it's just a worse median.
- astura 8y agoHow so? Anyone can burn through VC funds, how does that ability measure "corporate performance?" Even if you aren't VC funded, you can burn through all your profit easily overpaying your employees and go into debt, but that means just the opposite, in that case you have poor corporate performance and the business isn't sustainable.
- izzydata 8y agoYou are right. I wasn't trying to come up with a serious determinate of business success. Maybe a minor factor of a complicated formula.
