I think folks really lose perspective. Apple has a revenue per employee of $2,375,435 and that includes the janitorial staff. [1] [1] https://www.statista.com/

  Seems to be a paywall. What is the profit per employee, before and after employee costs?

    Apple's gross profit margin is 40% and net is 23%. OpEx accounts for a surprisingly small amount, actually. Here's a nifty visualization. [1] [1] https://i.redd.it/jg6t8xm07sn91.png https://i.redd.it/jg6t8xm07sn91.png

      That's nice, but I just realized something. Aren't they a tech company that isn't doing layoffs? From the stuff I'm reading, the layoffs that are happening are mostly cutting unprofitable programs, or unnecessary support staff. And in very small numbers (5% or less). At this point, I'm not sure what we're really discussing since this started out as talking about how above average tech salaries are at these top-tier companies, both in terms of the industry and in general. My only point was that I don't think unionizing would be beneficial to increasing tech salary or to preventing there layoffs. Where they would be useful is more consistent treatment of employees and adherence to their own policies.
