Heh, watch out for empire-building middle managers. "Hey how would you like to reduce your headcount by 2x" will not go over well.

- dicriseg 4y agoIt’s more like, “How would you like to get twice as much done?” I don’t work at Amazon, but I’m sure there’s plenty for folks to do.
- ryandvm 4y agoYup. This is an especially dangerous suggestion when you work for a government contractor. Since a lot of them have their profit margin capped at a specific percentage, the only way for them to increase total profit is by increasing the size of the project. Suggesting efficiencies that would reduce headcount is a good way to get on executive leadership's threat radar. Man, I do not miss working for a fed contractor.
