> For senior software engineers, Fast offered $200-240K/year in base salaries Lets put everyone there. $20k/month. > On Monday, 4th April, Fast laid off all of its workforce of about 450 employees, of which about 150 were software engineers. That 150 at $20k/month is $3M by itself. The other 300... if they were paid half of that would easily be another $3M. I'm certain there are other costs - but its easy to point to a "if they were paying that much, this many employees represents this much per month" that is a sizable fraction of that $10M/month.
