The most shocking part of this story is Bird had 406 employees to lay off. What the heck were all those people doing?
The excessive headcount in these VC funded start-ups is truly mind boggling.
- ThePhysicist 7y agoYou need a lot of people to distribute and pick up scooters as well as do maintenance on them.
- leetcrew 7y agoI thought these people were usually "gig economy" workers, so bird doesn't actually have to pay them if no one is using the scooters.
- whoisjuan 7y agoCorporate employees don't do that. They have "juicers". Gig economy workers who pick the scooters late at night, in rented vans or their personal pick-up trucks. They charge the scooters and then re-distribute them early in the morning.
