Wow that is quite a lot of employees, but this excerpt came across a bit odd to me: > At the end of 2014, it employed 74,117 people... > By 2015, 74,335 people

So the increase of 0.29% over a brief although somewhat ambiguous period of time is supposed to tell me what?
- chishaku 7y agoThat in 2014, there were 74,117 employees and in 2015, there were 74,335 employees. Given the size of the company, I imagine this data exists in a tabular format and someone was just converting to a (maybe imperfect) natural language representation of the data.
- glitcher 7y agoMy point was they appeared to be providing an observation about the change in size over time, but the wording around the time frame is so ambiguous it could mean anything between one day and one year, plus the magnitude of the change didn't appear to be significant. In other words, those 2 statements in combination provide little to no extra value in understanding the organization.
