Is there any objective way to define and measure productivity at companies like Twitter and estimate how few people they could get away with? The story implies they have 4/3×5600 employees which I could easily be convinced is a lot to do what they do. Likewise with Google and Facebook (who both give the impression of doing way more research and product development so you'd expect more people) - it's certainly plausible that the my could run their core business with way fewer people. Obviously the status quo will push against any changes, it would be interesting to see some information on what a reasonable size is
- metadat 4y agoI don't think Mussk will keep running the status quo. Entire departments and long-standing projects will be axed, and sights set on one or more new major milestones. Logically and practically speaking, the cuts will be focused on retaining employees perceived or known to be loyal to Master, and then backfill hiring folks who will work "really hard" without questioning too much or complaining. The relative "openness" Twitter enjoys today will transition to secrecy and proprietary-ness, similar to the way Tesla and Space-X both operate.
