25% is if the organization is ultra efficient. I think most organizations other than select FAANG/Stripe are at 75%+. I think pmarca quoted the number to be something like 1:4 which makes the efficiency at 25%, 75% dead weight. FAANG is probably at 50%.
The good big companies are overstaffed by 2x. The bad big companies are overstaffed by 4x or more.

- shawnb576 4y agoThis is all theoretical tho. In a situation like this you likely won’t retain those 25%, assuming you can identify them (it’s not always clear who is really making things happen and why). Those are top performers used to equity based comp. Many will leave. Scale like Twitter does takes a lot of people to keep it running. You can always trim low performers but that too has a major morale implications. See: Uber
