Perhaps in companies intelligent enough to understand which part of their workforce drives actual revenue: in my job I can say for a fact that there’s more redundancy in management than in engineering, and I don’t think that’s because of intelligence on the company’s part, but rather an engrained culture and assumption of how necessary managers are, often linked to already per-company arbitrary objects like departments or projects. So a more interesting question I think is: how many companies out there are intelligent enough to go against the axioms of corporate culture and investigate value from the recently so popular term “first principles”? I’m unfortunately cynical enough to believe the answer is “not many”.
